The Republic of Cacoria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 843 million Cacorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calestania. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cacorian economy, worth 80.4 trillion Cacorian Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,378 Cacorian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cacoria's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cacoria is ranked 323,215^th in the world and 1,196^th in Europeia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.19 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
