The Clumsiness of Fumblings is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by H P Lovecraft IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.259 billion Fumblingsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiddlesburgh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fumblingsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,319 trillion fiddlesticks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,285 fiddlesticks, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, the only film released this month was "Prayervengers: Heresy War", and the government is full of esquivalience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fumblings's national animal is the common sense, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Beeboism.

Fumblings is ranked 328,353rd in the world and 9th in Jethnea for Nicest Citizens, with 0.2 average smiles per day.
