The State of Cabaret is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 20.545 billion Cabaretians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The powerhouse Cabaretian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,722 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,002 per year while the poor average 10,142, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, Cabaret has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Cabaret in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cabaret's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cabaret is ranked 287,772^nd in the world and 5^th in Sachsen Anhalt for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
