The Federal Republic of Caosia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 210 million Caosians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Caosian economy, worth 12.4 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,067 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,418 per year while the poor average 10,481, a ratio of 21.8 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Caosia's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Caosia is ranked 130,916^th in the world and 279^th in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,067.81 Standard Monetary Units.
