The Republic of CAF124 is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 477 million CAF124ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The CAF124ian economy, worth 23.8 trillion flits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,844 flits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CAF124's national animal is the flit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CAF124 is ranked 52,451^st in the world and 1,819^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,505.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
