The Republic of Schummer is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 9.199 billion Schummerians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The Schummerian economy, worth 432 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 47,008 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schummer's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Schummer is ranked 165,048^th in the world and 2,643^rd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
