The Republic of Cazaro is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 181 million Cazarans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The thriving Cazaroan economy, worth 11.2 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,891 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,024 per year while the poor average 16,319, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Speeches have been enlivened since Leader started spitting bars, the world outside is only known of in folklore, "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Cazaro's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cazaro is ranked 86,125^th in the world and 441^st in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,577.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
