The Republic of Cenabum is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.561 billion Carnutes 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, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Social Policy, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cenabum. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Carnutian economy, worth a remarkable 2,873 trillion Euros 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 228,758 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is totally unknown. Cenabum's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cenabum is ranked 1,591^st in the world and 25^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
