The Commonwealth of Umbraloth is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Carm with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.903 billion Umbralothians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminae. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Umbralothian economy, worth 206 trillion Zennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 71,286 Zennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, the mouth-frothing Umbralothian can be confused for a rabid Human Being, and people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umbraloth's national animal is the Human Being, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Umbraloth is ranked 58,264th in the world and 5th in Universal Dream Network for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,380.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
