The Jingoistic States of Ump398 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.766 billion Ump398ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump398ian economy, worth 889 trillion Pesos 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 Book Publishing. 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 186,667 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

International tensions are high as Ump398 threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump398's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump398 is ranked 28,739^th in the world and 1,828^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,553.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
