The Queen's State of Umbusowe is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and complete lack of public education. The hard-working, cynical population of 19.474 billion Umbusoweans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The thriving Umbusowean economy, worth 556 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 28,569 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Umbusowe's national animal is the deer.

Umbusowe is ranked 268,444th in the world and 15th in Pennsylvania for Lowest Crime Rates, with 38.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
