The Free Society of Caitlin Fairchild is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Caitlin Fairchild with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.964 billion Caitlin Fairchildians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Jolla. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Caitlin Fairchildian economy, worth a remarkable 4,270 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 203,718 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, Caitlin Fairchild is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Caitlin Fairchild's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gen13.

Caitlin Fairchild is ranked 261,710^th in the world and 3^rd in Gen 13 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
