The Sultanate of Candimad is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Ashai Lio Handusi with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.724 billion Candimadians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iedin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Candimadian economy, worth 382 trillion Candimad Bucks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,774 Candimad Bucks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 290,080 per year while the poor average 9,744, a ratio of 29.8 to 1.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and Candimadian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime is moderate. Candimad's national animal is the Northern Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Yellowism.

Candimad is ranked 301,673^rd in the world and 125^th in Aceon for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 6.95 Effective Tax Rate.
