The Queendom of Caboran is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 991 million Caboranians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rico. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Caboranian economy, worth 79.9 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 80,656 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and diplomatic cables about Leader have suddenly been very flattering. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caboran's national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caboran is ranked 27,682^nd in the world and 856^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
