The Kingdom of Umbrekot is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.149 billion Umbrekotians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sorentiko. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Umbrekotian economy, worth 292 trillion doows a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 70,444 doows, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royal mothers accustomed to baby-talk assure the troops "we gweatly wespect your service; yes, we do", charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, and helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umbrekot's national animal is the muhammadi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skirumbre.

Umbrekot is ranked 281,057th in the world and 10,765th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.46 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
