The Federal Republic of Bumbria is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 456 million Bumbrians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.7%.

The all-consuming Bumbrian economy, worth 34.0 trillion Shills a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 74,664 Shills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, and Bumbria has designated Bumbria City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bumbria's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bumbria is ranked 46,415^th in the world and 385^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,639.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
