The Empire of Cadonio is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 2.802 billion Cadonioans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Cardenas. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cadonioan economy, worth 390 trillion Stag Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,539 Stag Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large sections of Cadonio have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cadonio's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cadonioism.

Cadonio is ranked 269,152^nd in the world and 5,539^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -234.69 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
