The Commonwealth of Umbraloth is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Carm with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 704 million Umbralothians, 670 million of whom are zombies, are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminae. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Umbralothian economy, worth 248 trillion Zennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 82,831 Zennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that trees grow on Zennies, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, one of the most popular models in Umbraloth has a scarred face and one working eye, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umbraloth's national animal is the Human Being, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Umbraloth is ranked 216,899^th in the world and 12^th in Universal Dream Network for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
