The Federal State of Cambany is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 610 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 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cambanian economy, worth 59.2 trillion Davines a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,084 Davines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals in Cambany are too busy serving the needs of Europe to see Cambanians, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. 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 46,603^rd in the world and 549^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 156.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
