Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nude People's Republic of Eumbner is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gonk with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.039 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Section One. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eumbner's national animal is the Epistemological Mallard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pie.

Eumbner is ranked 4,532nd in The North Pacific and 100,362nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
