The United Socialist States of Ump116 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.856 billion Ump116ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump116ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 amazing 216,944 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, there's a hole in the heart of every Ump116ian city, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Ump116's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump116's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump116 is ranked 74,468^th in the world and 2,542^nd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,107.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
