The Federation of Ump372 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.727 billion Ump372ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump372ian economy, worth 896 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,760 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ump372ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump372's national animal is the Zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump372 is ranked 117,722^nd in the world and 4,174^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,179.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
