The Commonwealth of The Cavalier is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 168 million Cavaliers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Commonwealth economy, worth 6.44 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 38,358 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers regularly paddle unruly students, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, every street in the nation contains at least three law firms, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cavalier's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Cavalier is ranked 235,683^rd in the world and 174^th in Christians for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
