The Republic of CAF12

“Nationstates or bust”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of CAF12 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 3.758 billion CAF12ians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.2%.

The strong CAF12ian economy, worth 211 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, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 56,195 flits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned flitball fields, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CAF12's national animal is the flit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CAF12 is ranked 100,237^th in the world and 716^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
