The United Kingdom of Ump147 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.659 billion Ump147ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump147ian economy, worth 891 trillion Dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,308 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump147's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump147 is ranked 110,966th in the world and 1,500th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.72600844632 days.
