The Electoral Process of Caucus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tom Harkin with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.275 billion caucus-goers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Des Moines. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient caucusing economy, worth a remarkable 1,446 trillion nominations a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 155,925 nominations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, people say chess victor Tom Harkin can kill you with mind-bullets, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caucus's national animal is the high school gymnasium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is hyperlocal democracy.

Caucus is ranked 22,437th in the world and 16th in Seinfeld for Most Stationary, with 1,515.308926035 days.
