The Colony of Car Tamder is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 161 million Car Tamderians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Car Tamderian economy, worth 4.85 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 30,110 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Car Tamder's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Car Tamder is ranked 168,132^nd in the world and 2,381^st in The East Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 515.85 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
