The Grand Duchy of Courage Caverns is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Most Courageous Clark Chin-Calliwell with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.744 billion Courage Cavepeople are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creatis. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Courage Cavernsian economy, worth 937 trillion dollarydoos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 197,708 dollarydoos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Courage Cavernsian Desert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Courage Caverns's national animal is the owlbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Not applicable.

Courage Caverns is ranked 46,983^rd in the world and 99^th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 53 kickbacks per hour.
