The Republic of Ceaughbel Pubahnos is a large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 56 million Ceaughbel Pubahnosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ceaughbel Pubahnosian economy, worth 2.58 trillion Tech Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,995 Tech Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ceaughbel Pubahnos's national animal is the Cea Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ceaughbel Pubahnos is ranked 123,813^th in the world and 161^st in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
