The United People's Democracy of Umbra Ac Silentium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by dozens of elected councils with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 18.342 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, with Industry, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, 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 5,489 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 299,262 Dreamstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, unemployed taxi drivers ironically use self-driving cabs to reach employment offices, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and a flying elephant and dozens of elected councils share the same nickname. 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 647th in the world and 1st in Dreamworld for Most Cultured, scoring 454 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
