The Most Serene Republic of Ump202 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its vat-grown people, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.702 billion Ump202ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump202ian economy, worth 789 trillion Dollars 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. 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 167,968 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump202's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ump202 is ranked 111,029th in the world and 1,522nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.72014039452 days.
