The People's Union of Caigu is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Rén Méifēng with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, flagrant waste-dumping, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.885 billion Cáigǔans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hēibǎo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.3%.

The powerhouse Cáigǔan economy, worth 497 trillion hóngshís a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,793 hóngshís, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', artists are pillars of society, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caigu's national animal is the yòuhuān, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caigu is ranked 259,705^th in the world and 10^th in Insula Aurelica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
