The Queendom of Ump402 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.68 billion Ump402ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump402ian economy, worth 913 trillion Pesos 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, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 195,176 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump402's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ump402 is ranked 14,644th in the world and 1,046th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
