The High Athelingric of Camberus is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.068 billion Camberusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Camberusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,407 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

A positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, the inner circle of Asher Wiley is looking more and more like a pink triangle, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Camberus's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Camberus is ranked 263,648^th in the world and 1^st in Camberus for Safest, scoring 22.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
