Camberus 394

The Republic of Camberus 394 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.731 billion Camberus 394ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Camberus 394ian economy, worth 137 trillion deniers 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 79,299 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Camberus 394's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Camberus 394 is ranked 61,053rd in the world and 217th in Cainitium for Safest, scoring 98.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
