The Republic of Camwood is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Sam Boyle with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 2.467 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clenson. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government has the power to seize property at will, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Camwood's national animal is the Blue Jay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Camwood is ranked 7th in Esportiva and 20,278th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
