Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Kumoritypographic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Noodle Master with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.674 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Noodle Club. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kumoritypographic's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Pastaran, and its currency is the stars.

Kumoritypographic is ranked 1,149th in the Rejected Realms and 88,687th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
