The Principality of Caereus is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 128 million Caereusians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse Caereusian economy, worth 9.72 trillion Reuses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 75,975 Reuses, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Caereus's national animal is the Lion.

Caereus is ranked 271,873^rd in the world and 1,422^nd in Europe for Most Authoritarian, with 241.25 milliStalins.
