The Imperopedantpartoaristacracy of Cax is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 46.507 billion Caxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Social Policy, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Caxian economy, worth a remarkable 4,421 trillion Caxins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,078 Caxins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, and former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cax's national animal is the Tortoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cax is ranked 8,109th in the world and 1st in The Imperium of Might for Safest, scoring 123.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
