The Federal State of Cambany is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 593 million Cambanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lilania. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cambanian economy, worth 57.4 trillion Davines a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,876 Davines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cambany's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cambany is ranked 20,526^th in the world and 346^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
