The Emirate of Ump276 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, avowedly heterosexual populace, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.383 billion Ump276ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ump276ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,321 trillion Yen 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, Furniture Restoration, 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 amazing 207,032 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, sex changes are routinely performed at Ump276's hospitals, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ump276's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ump276 is ranked 62,432nd in the world and 3,339th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,128.31 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
