The Armed Republic of Ump44 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.774 billion Ump44ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump44ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,381 trillion Monies 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, Soda Sales, and Woodchip 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 amazing 203,940 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Ump44, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Ump44, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump44's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump44 is ranked 26,791^st in the world and 1,720^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
