The United States of Lumbal is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5 million Lumbalians 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 tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Industry and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The Lumbalian economy, worth 281 billion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 56,284 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Lumbal's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lumbal is ranked 284,526^th in the world and 1,306^th in Europeia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 418.98 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
