The Fiefdom of Ump180 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.894 billion Ump180ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump180ian economy, worth 925 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,085 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump180's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump180 is ranked 282,131st in the world and 10,690th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.49 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
