The State of Caestaeleshamm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.41 billion Caestaeleshammians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Welfare is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong Caestaeleshammian economy, worth 940 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,913 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,557 per year while the poor average 2,359, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Caestaeleshamm's national animal is the deer.

Caestaeleshamm is ranked 19,839^th in the world and 21^st in Ancient Lands for Most Armed, with 4.91 weapons per person.
