The Rogue Nation of Ump208 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.86 billion Ump208ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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

The frighteningly efficient Ump208ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,073 trillion Dollars 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, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 220,877 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, the digital money revolution has cashed out, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump208's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ump208 is ranked 192,820^th in the world and 7,298^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
