The United People's Democracy of Umbra Ac Silentium is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by dozens of elected councils with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.884 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 are ignored. 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 6,357 trillion Dreamstones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 304,436 Dreamstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Museums claim to have displayed famous artwork before it was cool, any reference to a higher being is punished with public shaming, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, and public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy. 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 121,937th in the world and 7th in Astral Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,701.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
