The Holy Empire of Dalumba is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Estefano with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 866 million Lumbaños love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Djogrango. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lumbal economy, worth 100 trillion Kashings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,609 Kashings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Estefano has just been declared ruler of Dalumba in an international press conference, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dalumba's national animal is the Seapig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dalumba is ranked 17,467^th in the world and 167^th in Europeia for Smartest Citizens, with 72.63 quips per hour.
