The Commonwealth of Bumberkit is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.714 billion Bumberkites love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capercrbabi. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bumberkit economy, worth 141 trillion Nikols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 82,344 Nikols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Bumberkit lands, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bumberkit's national animal is the Mudskipper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bumberkit is ranked 74,432^nd in the world and 4^th in Narmer for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
