The Federal Republic of Humptalumpta is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Overloard Norm with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.683 billion Humptalumptans 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sierra Gordo. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Humptalumptan economy, worth a remarkable 1,194 trillion Wingwangs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,543 Wingwangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The parliament building has installed a revolving door, students do more community service than homework, college athletes are arrested for selling lemonade, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Humptalumpta's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The way.

Humptalumpta is ranked 210,558^th in the world and 9,530^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -168.42 on the Hayek Index.
