The Principality of Humalian is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 705 million Humalianians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.7%.

The Humalianian economy, worth 25.0 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,525 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Brown Sugar 101 is a popular course at community colleges, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, and the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humalian's national animal is the creature, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Humalian is ranked 240,987^th in the world and 728^th in Horizon for Nicest Citizens, with 8.98 average smiles per day.
