The United States of Ump161 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.862 billion Ump161ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump161ian economy, worth 967 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,013 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", surveillance cameras are banned, and the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump161's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump161 is ranked 279,970th in the world and 10,584th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.87 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
