The High Kingdom of Caspiaa is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Oliver I with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.876 billion Caspiaans, 8.445 billion of whom are zombies, hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viitaniemi. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The powerhouse Caspiaan economy, worth 888 trillion Cronas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 64,261 Cronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, hit TV comedies "The Big Government Theory" and "Young Oliver I" have high ratings but low quality, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Caspiaa's national animal is the Euronian elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Church.

Caspiaa is ranked 249,575^th in the world and 135^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
