The United Coffee Provinces of Caffeinetopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Cappuccino with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.03 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Latteville. The average income tax rate is 78%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, anti-government web sites are springing up, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caffeinetopia's national animal is the Half and Half, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Church of Coffea Arabica, and its currency is the Coffee Bean.

Caffeinetopia is ranked 36th in Circle of Badularity and 86,589th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
