The Borderlands of Ump375 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.822 billion Ump375ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump375ian economy, worth 985 trillion Euros 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, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 204,417 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump375's national animal is the Zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump375 is ranked 12,651^st in the world and 664^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,826.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
