The Republic of CAF05 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate population of 4.006 billion CAF05ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.4%.
The thriving CAF05ian economy, worth 305 trillion Flits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,247 Flits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CAF05's national animal is the Flit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
CAF05 is ranked 59,631st in the world and 218th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
