The Confederacy of Hummantris is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The cynical, devout population of 14.12 billion Hummantrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hummantrisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,646 trillion Criones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,590 Criones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, modesty is treated with the side-eye, and holy matrimony has been wedded to an unwieldy bureaucracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hummantris's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hummantris is ranked 239,722nd in the world and 20th in The Interdimensional Community for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
