The Kingdom of Pais das Caricatas is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by João I with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.16 billion Caricatasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cidade das Caricatas. The average income tax rate is 51.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Caricatasian economy, worth 133 trillion Libras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 114,791 Libras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, interest in globalism never flags, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pais das Caricatas's national animal is the Cisne, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Pais das Caricatas is ranked 65,022^nd in the world and 380^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,108.93 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
