The Confused Empire of Kamare is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Confusio with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.849 billion Kamareans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qui. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kamarean economy, worth 264 trillion cookies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 92,767 cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Qui" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kamare's national animal is the cheesecake cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kamare is ranked 288,889^th in the world and 3,699^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
