The Commonwealth of Rumbuckia is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.508 billion Rumbuckians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rumbuckian economy, worth 144 trillion Bucks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,881 Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions, private law firms are unheard of, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, and right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rumbuckia's national animal is the Rumbuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rumbuckia is ranked 159,776^th in the world and 3,689^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 102 billion Standard Monetary Units.
