The Federation of Compelle is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.845 billion Compelleans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Compellean economy, worth 363 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,765 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fat taxes on red meat has left the beef industry extra lean, Compellean military drills look more like joint-Council of Asia exercises than anything else, punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compelle's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compelle is ranked 206,526^th in the world and 587^th in Council of Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
