The Commonwealth of Caslinia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 916 million Caslinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.
The all-consuming Caslinian economy, worth 90.8 trillion Commonwealth Caslinian Casmarks 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 99,164 Commonwealth Caslinian Casmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,937 per year while the poor average 25,764, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.
Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Caslinian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caslinia's national animal is the Red Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Caslinia is ranked 71,867th in the world and 156th in The Wellspring for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,353.91 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
