The Tsarinavar of HurleOmbre is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emma Stalidora de HurleOmbre with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.257 billion Ombrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisadryne. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient HurleOmbrean economy, worth a remarkable 2,749 trillion Deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 378,920 Deniers, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HurleOmbre's national animal is the Hermine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Matriarchal Church of Iris.

HurleOmbre is ranked 2,399^th in the world and 64^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 320.8 kickbacks per hour.
