The Federal Republic of Humptalumpta is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Overloard Norm with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.859 billion Humptalumptans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sierra Gordo. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Humptalumptan economy, worth a remarkable 1,225 trillion Wingwangs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,335 Wingwangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Supreme Overloard Norm claims to be the epitome of family values, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humptalumpta's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The way.

Humptalumpta is ranked 6,716^th in the world and 380^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,974.67 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
