The United People's Democracy of Umbra Ac Silentium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by dozens of elected councils with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 19.569 billion Umbraciums enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mors Somniorum. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Umbracium economy, worth a remarkable 5,886 trillion Dreamstones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 300,815 Dreamstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, and mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Umbra Ac Silentium's national animal is the carpioneiros, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Umbra Ac Silentium is ranked 315,958th in the world and 4th in Dreamworld for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -80.5 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
