The United People's Democracy of Umbra Ac Silentium is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by dozens of elected councils with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.841 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 6,333 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 303,877 Dreamstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Desperate dial-up tones are the only current filling the airwaves, the Umbracium government is the world's largest NGO, government winter plans get a frosty reception, and structures are raised on promises. 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 113,191^st in the world and 7^th in Astral Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,705.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
