“Given Choices”

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

The State of Casey McFarlane is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 30.73 billion Casey McFarlaneans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.

The thriving Casey McFarlanean economy, worth 681 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 22,170 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 67,727 per year while the poor average 5,625, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed and Casey McFarlane has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Casey McFarlane's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Casey McFarlane is ranked 123,229^th in the world and 1^st in Harare for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
