The Commonwealth of Rumon is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by the State Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, feral children, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.506 billion Rumonians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rahan. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rumonian economy, worth 846 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,020 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Rumonian democracy, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Rumonian citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rumon's national animal is the Flummoxed Politician, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rumon is ranked 37,967^th in the world and 12^th in Osagh for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 828.54 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
