The International Mandate of Camplings is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Minister-General Lanfrank ven Hanneldorf with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 1.109 billion Camplingseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanaville. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Camplingsean economy, worth 28.5 trillion Camplings Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is 25,719 Camplings Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, every workday begins with group therapy, and the country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Camplings's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Camplings is ranked 288,870^th in the world and 11,081^st in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,163.51 Standard Monetary Units.
