The Empire of Compton-Conway is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Compton with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.559 billion Compton-Conwayians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CC City. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Compton-Conwayian economy, worth 962 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,663 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Compton is wearing this season, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compton-Conway's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Compton-Conway is ranked 11,936^th in the world and 266^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,836.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
