The Federal Republic of Humptalumpta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Overloard Norm with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12.577 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sierra Gordo. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Humptalumptan economy, worth a remarkable 1,652 trillion Wingwangs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,376 Wingwangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. 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 218,232^nd in the world and 9,104^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,422.99 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
