The Federal Republic of Humptalumpta is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Overloard Norm with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.417 billion Humptalumptans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sierra Gordo. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Humptalumptan economy, worth a remarkable 1,155 trillion Wingwangs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,744 Wingwangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Humptalumpta recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Sierra Gordo to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humptalumpta's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The way.

Humptalumpta is ranked 6,289^th in the world and 576^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 58.93 Bank.
