The Queen's State of CB is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.266 billion CBians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The powerhouse CBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 46,804 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 318,212 per year while the poor average 2,514, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. CB's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CB is ranked 189,467^th in the world and 1^st in Emberstorm for Highest Average Incomes, with 46,804.41 Standard Monetary Units.
