The United Socialist States of Divided Free Land is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 502 million Kumarians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Namhung. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kumarian economy, worth 50.3 trillion Grogeyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,190 Grogeyas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Divided Free Land's national animal is the Overase, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Divided Free Land is ranked 24,736^th in the world and 940^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,915.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
