The People's Republic of Ump404 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.568 billion Ump404ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump404ian economy, worth 876 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,835 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, calling dibs is an unalienable right, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump404's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump404 is ranked 111,237th in the world and 1,456th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.6991473524 days.
