The Social Kingdom of The Cascadian Bioregion is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 561 million Cascadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vancouver. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cascadian economy, worth 40.6 trillion Cascadian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 72,348 Cascadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cascadian Bioregion's national animal is the Barn Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Cascadian Bioregion is ranked 60,763^rd in the world and 2,694^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,097.09 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
