The Colony of Caoiren Scy is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The democratic population of 9.491 billion Caoiren Scyians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Caoiren Scyian economy, worth 335 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,352 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caoiren Scy's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caoiren Scy is ranked 207,440^th in the world and 3^rd in Second Guesses for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
