The Colony of Caerotria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.329 billion Caerotrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Caerotrian economy, worth 222 trillion Skjölls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,899 Skjölls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The education system is famed for its taxing exams, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, it's a miracle that there aren't more plane crashes, and a new Brasilistani government has become a daily report on the main evening news. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Caerotria's national animal is the Black-Hide Woolly Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caerotria is ranked 253,196^th in the world and 13^th in The Realm of Varangia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
