The Cakeist People's Republic of Namante is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hari Callaka with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.025 billion Namanti 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haccata-çe. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Namanten economy, worth 262 trillion Denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 129,398 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, nine out of ten citizens of Namante answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help. Crime is totally unknown. Namante's national animal is the Squongle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Namante is ranked 11,221st in the world and 253rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 404.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
