The United Socialist States of Ump141 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.878 billion Ump141ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 91.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump141ian economy, worth 865 trillion Euros 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 a large, well-organized 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 impressive 177,382 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is jailed, childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump141's national animal is the Black Widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump141 is ranked 144,161^st in the world and 5,333^rd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 543.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
