The Content Peoples of Umeria is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Helen D'Annain with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.845 billion Umerians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agora. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Umerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,186 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,013 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime is totally unknown. Umeria's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Umeria is ranked 2,884^th in the world and 58^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 194,009.47 Standard Monetary Units.
