The Protectorate of Numathor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sindalas with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 29.458 billion Numathorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Numathor. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Numathorian economy, worth 601 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 20,431 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most academic research has ground to a halt, The Circle of the Elves has been named as Numathor's national religion, Sindalas has just been declared ruler of Numathor in an international press conference, and Numathor has designated Numathor as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Numathor's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Circle of the Elves.

Numathor is ranked 64,968^th in the world and 1^st in Fast food for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,590.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
