The Holy Queendom of Bumbloria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Daughter Queen Eleanora Aspineux II with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.644 billion Bumblorians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vespindyll. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bumblorian economy, worth 310 trillion Honeybucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,161 Honeybucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and babies are a small but significant export. Crime is totally unknown. Bumbloria's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of The Mother.

Bumbloria is ranked 285,020^th in the world and 11,016^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -217.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
