The Incorporated States of Ump139 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.761 billion Ump139ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump139ian economy, worth 821 trillion Euros 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 172,580 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, Ump139 is renowned for its lax gun laws, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump139's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump139 is ranked 14,310^th in the world and 909^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
