The Dictatorship of Caricativia is a small, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 23 million Caricativians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Caricativian economy, worth 773 billion Caricas a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,644 Caricas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caricativia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caricativia is ranked 237,444^th in the world and 137^th in Portugal for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -5.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
