The Unraveling of All Mummified Things is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Cleoptomania with an iron fist, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.307 billion mummies are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Education and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Necropolis. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong mummified economy, worth 330 trillion debens a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,364 debens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of Necropolis, politicians literally speak literally, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and most pop videos prominently feature the mummified flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. All Mummified Things's national animal is the mummified cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ma'aternalism.

All Mummified Things is ranked 220,618th in the world and 8,265th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
