The Sultanate of Ump102 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.894 billion Ump102ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump102ian economy, worth 893 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 Tourism. 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 182,623 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", increasing numbers of children in Ump102 have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Ump102 after the ban on emigration was lifted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump102's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump102 is ranked 7,423rd in the world and 598th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 182.18 kickbacks per hour.
