The Protectorate of Ump254 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.549 billion Ump254ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump254ian economy, worth 811 trillion Yen 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 178,310 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, politicians have tenure, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Wolf Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump254's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump254 is ranked 111,073rd in the world and 1,403rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 355.7149806756 days.
