The Rich playground and poor hel of Cawn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Big rich man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.058 billion Rij are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rich city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Richmė economy, worth 176 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 167,044 marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,152,092 per year while the poor average 8,587, a ratio of 134 to 1.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, the government conducts negotiations with drawings after firing multilinguals for treason, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cawn's national animal is the Mmmmm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cawn is ranked 3,436th in the world and 1st in Timoria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,106.5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
