The High Athelingric of Camberus 774 is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.06 billion Camberus 774ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Camberus 774ian economy, worth 555 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,704 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, sick Camberus 774ians are hair today and gone tomorrow, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, and the government is funneling billions into Cape Camberus 774 following the shuttle crash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Camberus 774's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Camberus 774 is ranked 84,120^th in the world and 1,341^st in Snep for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,199.59 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
