The Confederacy of Ump227 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.818 billion Ump227ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ump227ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,027 trillion Dollars 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 213,163 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump227's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ump227 is ranked 32,063^rd in the world and 1,853^rd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 60,964.78 Standard Monetary Units.
