The United States of Kakasopol is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 29 million Kakasopolians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kakasopolian economy, worth 1.67 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 57,690 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kakasopol's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kakasopol is ranked 136,023^rd in the world and 76^th in The Global Elite for Highest Average Incomes, with 57,690.77 Standard Monetary Units.
