The Republic of Ceaughbel Pubahnos is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 56 million Ceaughbel Pubahnosians 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, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ceaughbel Pubahnosian economy, worth 2.57 trillion Tech Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,899 Tech Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ceaughbel Pubahnos's national animal is the Cea Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ceaughbel Pubahnos is ranked 123,686^th in the world and 162^nd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
