The People's Republic of Cagliana is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gila the Cuckhold with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.848 billion Caglianans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piombino. The average income tax rate is 24.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Caglianan economy, worth 620 trillion Totanoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 161,141 Totanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

In court almost every witness is a hostile witness, under love's heavy burden Gila the Cuckhold sinks lower in the political right's esteem, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes. Crime is totally unknown. Cagliana's national animal is the Gatto selvatico, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam Catholicism Eastern Orthodoxy.

Cagliana is ranked 36,135^th in the world and 537^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,798.58 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
