The People's Republic of Caribbia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Wiremu Kauri with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.447 billion Caribbeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yeir. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.4%.

The powerhouse Caribbean economy, worth 110 trillion Pirongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,604 Pirongs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,012 per year while the poor average 13,910, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Caribbeans, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caribbia's national animal is the Caribbean Hermit Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Caribbia is ranked 70,979^th in the world and 666^th in 10000 Islands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,618.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
