The United States of Caribbland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Henry Harrison with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.247 billion Caribblandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Lawrence. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Caribblandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,427 trillion Caribblandian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 271,966 Caribblandian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, and the comic book series 'President Henry Harrison and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caribbland's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caribbland is ranked 6,318th in the world and 11th in United Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 78.73 flags saluted per person per day.
