The Western States of Sierra Cascadia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Mickey McCoy with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.524 billion Cascadians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bayport. The average income tax rate is 49.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cascadian economy, worth 156 trillion Cascadian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,745 Cascadian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, Bayport's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sierra Cascadia's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Sierra Cascadia is ranked 106,877th in the world and 68th in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,681.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
