The Rich playground and poor hel of Cawn is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Big rich man with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.068 billion Rij are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rich city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Richmë economy, worth 179 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 168,132 marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,176,577 per year while the poor average 8,253, a ratio of 142 to 1.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, government expenses are beyond compare, praying at the office can see you terminated for napping, and it turns out you can put a price on sporting integrity. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cawn's national animal is the Mmmmm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cawn is ranked 327,744^th in the world and 95^th in Timoria for Nicest Citizens, with 0.24 average smiles per day.
