The United States of Cadonica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Laura Steel with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.904 billion Cadonicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gulf Oren. The average income tax rate is 2.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cadonican economy, worth a remarkable 4,360 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 141,099 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The new hit series "Cadonica's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, procrastination is a national sport, eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, and self-driving cars have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cadonica's national animal is the Grizzly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cadonica is ranked 23,157^th in the world and 1^st in Continent of Opica for Highest Poor Incomes, with 86,695.65 Standard Monetary Units.
