The Confederation of Camante is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Blumfeld with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.463 billion Camantians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raza. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Camantean economy, worth a remarkable 3,293 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 314,737 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,808,930 per year while the poor average 26,306, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

The nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, future leaders of Camante regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, and the media seems excessively interested in what President Blumfeld is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Camante's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Everlasting Republic.

Camante is ranked 275,147th in the world and 10,940th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
