The Great Republic of Dumbases is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Eminem with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.914 billion Dumbasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Aurea. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dumbasesian economy, worth 681 trillion bands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,191 bands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dumbases's national animal is the Eric, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dumbases is ranked 92,958^th in the world and 3,308^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,135.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
