Ump68

The Principality of Ump68 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, soft-spoken computers, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.343 billion Ump68ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump68ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,415 trillion Monies 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 223,118 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, government spending has hit an all-time low, and state media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump68's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump68 is ranked 110,900th in the world and 1,328th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 355.73375149692 days.
