The Community of Care Bacum is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 29 million Care Bacumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Care Bacumian economy, worth 813 billion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,057 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, and workers have seized control of the economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Care Bacum's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Care Bacum is ranked 44,794^th in the world and 3^rd in New Plimouth for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,093.12 Tourists Per Hour.
