The Democratic Republic of Cagadia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 174 million Cagadians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cagadian economy, worth 8.30 trillion Caras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,709 Caras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cagadia's national animal is the Ewok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cagadia is ranked 37,769^th in the world and 508^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 106.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
