The Jingoistic States of Ump416 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.75 billion Ump416ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump416ian economy, worth 978 trillion Platinums 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 Uranium Mining. 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 206,033 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and teachers regularly paddle unruly students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump416's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump416 is ranked 218,313th in the world and 8,181st in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
