The Republic of C D P is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.411 billion C D Pians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant C D Pian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,503 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of C D P. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. C D P's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

C D P is ranked 205,798^th in the world and 13^th in Communist Defense Pact for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
