The Magical Forces of Humba Wumba is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Humba Wumba with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.602 billion Shamans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wumba's Wigwam. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shaman economy, worth a remarkable 1,284 trillion Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,382 Silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nations that kill a Shaman can expect a strongly worded letter, the government is reining in public spending, nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humba Wumba's national animal is the Glowbo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shamanism.

Humba Wumba is ranked 45,707th in the world and 3rd in Warzone Vacation Resort for Most Stationary, with 956.1976866442 days.
