The Proletariat Paradise of Caetorinn is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Taravangian with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.318 billion Caetorinnians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karbranth. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Caetorinnian economy, worth 710 trillion Spheres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,223 Spheres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, Karbranth University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Caetorinn's national animal is the Chull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vorinism.

Caetorinn is ranked 308,607th in the world and 1,178th in Concord for Safest, scoring 11.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
