The Caipira Republic of Caidorama is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Caudilho Antônio Raposo de Oliveira with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The devout population of 1.104 billion Caidoramen are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of São Manuel da Terra Roxa. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Caidoraman economy, worth 106 trillion Bandeiras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,113 Bandeiras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together, companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caidorama's national animal is the Lobo-Guará, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catolicismo Sertanejo.

Caidorama is ranked 296,655^th in the world and 632^nd in The League for Fattest Citizens, with 5.15 Obesity Rate.
