The Empire of Cadonio is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.894 billion Cadonioans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Cardenas. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cadonioan economy, worth 401 trillion Stag Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,828 Stag Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Cadonioan lands, surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and edutainment video games are taking Cadonio's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cadonio's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cadonioism.

Cadonio is ranked 116,513^th in the world and 2,586^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,093.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
