The United People's Democracy of Umbra Ac Silentium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by dozens of elected councils with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 18.495 billion Umbraciums enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Welfare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mors Somniorum. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Umbracium economy, worth a remarkable 5,538 trillion Dreamstones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 299,438 Dreamstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Umbra Ac Silentium's national animal is the carpioneiros, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Umbra Ac Silentium is ranked 293,882nd in the world and 4th in Dreamworld for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
