The Disputed Territories of Dumbach is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Prefect Flaithri Tinsh with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.693 billion Dumbachians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dumbachian economy, worth a remarkable 3,669 trillion Ranecs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,856 Ranecs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 567,149 per year while the poor average 29,961, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

Polychromatic seas of leaves blanket the ground while sewers and drain pipes are clogged by their detritus, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Dumbach's skill with the blade, air fresheners are the most popular solution to gas leaks, and the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dumbach's national animal is the armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vorchism.

Dumbach is ranked 300,961^st in the world and 3^rd in Celtia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 38.64 percentage of bribes refused.
