The Republic of Caiov is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arthur Alexandre with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.188 billion Caiorenses are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of caio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Caiorense economy, worth 676 trillion caios a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 161,622 caios, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 740,583 per year while the poor average 21,442, a ratio of 34.5 to 1.

Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, shorter foreigners are often forcibly deported on suspicion of working for the World Assembly, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Caiov's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Católica.

Caiov is ranked 20,262^nd in the world and 577^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 161,622.05 Standard Monetary Units.
