The Kingdom of Ump457 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.609 billion Ump457ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ump457ian economy, worth 824 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,932 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, prospective secessionists nervously declare how worthless and unimportant they are, and cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump457's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ump457 is ranked 111,289th in the world and 1,605th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 355.69343207828 days.
