The RRRC Democratic Republic of Caraen is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.016 billion Caraenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ci Caraen. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Caraenian economy, worth 213 trillion Tenalzurias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 42,484 Tenalzurias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation is compulsory, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Ci Caraen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caraen's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Caraen is ranked 262,282^nd in the world and 34^th in Loush Land for Smartest Citizens, with 20.41 quips per hour.
