The Imperial Federation of Notrumbia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Faayr IV with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.107 billion notrumbians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludonesk. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Notrumbian economy, worth 302 trillion Notrumbian Ranps a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 143,682 Notrumbian Ranps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, not many kids know Shakespeare's Hamlet but most of them have seen unofficial sequel Hamlet III - The Search For Osric, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Notrumbia's national animal is the Rare Notrumbian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Seraenosian Notrumbian.

Notrumbia is ranked 195,214^th in the world and 1^st in Continental Notrumbia for Most Pacifist, with 22.01 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
