The Rogue Nation of Something Dumb is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by iKINGCAKE with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.09 billion Dumbians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Something Dumb City. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dumbian economy, worth a remarkable 5,658 trillion Muffins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 245,077 Muffins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry, the golden rule is to never let an economic crisis go to waste, and foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Dumbian selfishness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Something Dumb's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dumbness.

Something Dumb is ranked 33,278th in the world and 1st in Yarnia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 237.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
