The Collectivist Oligarchy of Cacnesia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by People's Popular Revolutionary Committee with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 9.273 billion Cacnesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cacnesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,332 trillion Ingsoc Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 359,376 Ingsoc Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

From the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Cacnesia, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cacnesia's national animal is the LumpenTroll, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cacnesia is ranked 6,949^th in the world and 84^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,627.15 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
