“Fiat iustitia aut pereat mundus”

The Republic of Cassanos is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Cavendish with an even hand, and notable for its national health service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.955 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 devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gondolin. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Voting is voluntary, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, refugees from other nations are flocking to Cassanos's border, and the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cassanos's national animal is the Black Adder, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Thaler.

Cassanos is ranked 36th in the region and 53,128th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
