The People's Republic of Ump404 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.744 billion Ump404ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump404ian economy, worth 918 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 193,706 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, and criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump404's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump404 is ranked 271,212^th in the world and 10,084^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 42.22 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
