The Democratic Republic of Comantem is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its digital currency, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 973 million Comantemians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corydon. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Comantemian economy, worth 114 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,281 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Comantem's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Comantem is ranked 20,030^th in the world and 1,087^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,060.62 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
