“Hand Me the Gun and Ask Me Again”

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

The Particularly Grand Duchy of Caffeinneburg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Archduke Mister Chris VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 42.531 billion Caffeinneburgians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caffeinneburg City. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Caffeinneburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,991 trillion orichalks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,820 orichalks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the government is spending billions of taxpayer orichalks to support the Uranium Mining industry, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and Caffeinneburg's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caffeinneburg's national animal is the alzabo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caffeinneburg is ranked 201,812^th in the world and 46^th in North America for Most Extreme, scoring 12.18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
