“Nostra Legitiums et Voluntas ad Deus”

The Democratic Aristocracy of Caiomhin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.799 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Caiomhin's border, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and the government is sending thousands of citizens overseas to defend a square mile of land. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caiomhin's national animal is the Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Aurum.

Caiomhin is ranked 102nd in the region and 50,909th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
