The Adorable Squeakers of Blands Candumive is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Rizzo with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.585 billion Candumiveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Candumive. The average income tax rate is 81.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Candumivean economy, worth a remarkable 1,883 trillion cheeses a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 196,485 cheeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, taxpayers receive expenditure reports from the Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet, grocery store cereal aisles resemble a Piet Mondrian work, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blands Candumive's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Survivalism.
Blands Candumive is ranked 293,133rd in the world and 2nd in The Raider Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
