The Commonwealth of Casoscaria is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by the Bearded Lady with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.694 billion Casoscarians 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, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beardopolis. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Casoscarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,586 trillion greenies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,345 greenies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, and aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casoscaria's national animal is the schnauzer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Blessed Schnauzer.

Casoscaria is ranked 1,693^rd in the world and 2^nd in North Carolina for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 9,748.22 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
