Census Unit Maritime Bureau
The Census Unit Maritime Bureau, often abbreviated to C.U.M.B. is a government department of The Grand Maritime Federation in charge of producing, distributing, and unveiling a monthly Census with the intent to keep track of activity, income, religion, and other factors within the GMF. Their emblem is a circular coat-of-arms adorned with anchors and ocean waves, topped with miniature recreations of the Dildo's Dildo.
