The Retirement of The SLU Ambassador of Cemaes is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jimmy Carter with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.101 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, meat-eating is frowned upon, and The SLU Ambassador of Cemaes is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. The SLU Ambassador of Cemaes's national animal is the Puffin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

The SLU Ambassador of Cemaes is ranked 49th in Democratic Socialist Assembly and 88,330th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
