The Community of Band Camp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 15.249 billion Band Campians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Band Campian economy, worth 169 trillion Flutes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 11,114 Flutes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Band Camp's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Band Camp is ranked 258,009^th in the world and 5^th in Band Camp for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
