The Federal Republic of Caburistan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 18 million Caburistanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Caburistanian economy, worth 707 billion Deneers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,279 Deneers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caburistan's national animal is the Moose.

Caburistan is ranked 111,899^th in the world and 138^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
