The Republic of Caunette is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 587 million Caunetteans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bayeux-Saturagues. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.1%.

The thriving Caunettean economy, worth 48.5 trillion Bilets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 82,550 Bilets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,449 per year while the poor average 16,382, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Caunetteans make research institutes rich, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", wandering Caunetteans are known for their one-track minds, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Caunette's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Caunette is ranked 193,205^th in the world and 18^th in Esvanovia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
