The Federativ Republic of Kavkas is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Fargaust Elsi with an even hand, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 978 million Kavkasiens are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Odmand City. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kavkas economy, worth 121 trillion Serlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,993 Serlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, Fargaust Elsi can cry on demand, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kavkas's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kavkas is ranked 285,936^th in the world and 620^th in The League for Fattest Citizens, with 6.31 Obesity Rate.
