The Rogue Nation of Ump149 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.924 billion Ump149ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump149ian economy, worth 859 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led 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 174,627 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Polygamy is legal, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump149's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump149 is ranked 13,343rd in the world and 739th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 351.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
