The Protectorate of Yore Bumm is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 461 million Yore Bumm Guardians 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 prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bumm Bunker. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Yore Bummian economy, worth 45.3 trillion Spliffs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 98,287 Spliffs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Yore Bumm's national animal is the Pangoline, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yore Bumm is ranked 56,836th in the world and 1,784th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,839.9 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
