Camberus 15

Population2.9 billion

The Republic of Camberus 15 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.9 billion Camberus 15ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Camberus 15ian economy, worth 262 trillion francs 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. 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 90,507 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Camberus 15, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, school uniforms are compulsory, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Camberus 15's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Camberus 15 is ranked 224,957th in the world and 822nd in Cainitium for Safest, scoring 23.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
