The Kingdom of Cauxia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 531 million Cauxians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monde. The average income tax rate is 32.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cauxian economy, worth 32.5 trillion Écus a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,119 Écus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cauxia's national animal is the Sea Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Cauxia is ranked 232,856^th in the world and 53^rd in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
