The Disputed Territories of Dumbach is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Prefect Flaithri Tinsh with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, teetotalling pirates, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.616 billion Dumbachians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dumbachian economy, worth a remarkable 3,618 trillion Ranecs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,206 Ranecs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 561,104 per year while the poor average 29,641, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

Praying at the office can see you terminated for napping, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, the Great Dumbachian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, and polychromatic seas of leaves blanket the ground while sewers and drain pipes are clogged by their detritus. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dumbach's national animal is the armadillo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Vorchism.

Dumbach is ranked 325,113^th in the world and 3^rd in Celtia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
