The United States of Caramiello is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 738 million Caramielloans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Education, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tipsy Town. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The very strong Caramielloan economy, worth 47.3 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,047 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,998 per year while the poor average 12,356, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Caramielloans, posters on 'Caramielloan Values' advise against being proud of Caramiello, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caramiello's national animal is the Mosquito, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Caramiello is ranked 44,149^th in the world and 2^nd in Nationstates Hospital for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 51,878.74 Standard Monetary Units.
