The United Socialist States of Ump431 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.772 billion Ump431ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump431ian economy, worth 869 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,130 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, politicians have tenure, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump431's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump431 is ranked 282,635^th in the world and 10,724^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 6.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
