The Emirate of Ump215 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.941 billion Ump215ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump215ian economy, worth 889 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, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 180,061 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump215's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ump215 is ranked 281,782^nd in the world and 10,595^th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 25.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
