The Uniocracy of Umbratellus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Great Archailect Binah with a fair hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 3.854 billion Umbratellans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The relatively small, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeternitatis. The average income tax rate is 4.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Umbratellan economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion energy credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 294,479 energy credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, and police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Umbratellus's national animal is the Old Patrian crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular Materialism.

Umbratellus is ranked 4,284th in the world and 1st in Astral Sea for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,452.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
