The Commonwealth of Caribbean Reef Shark is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and public floggings. The hard-working, cynical population of 7.436 billion Caribbean Reef Sharkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.5%.

The strong Caribbean Reef Sharkian economy, worth 375 trillion Apexias a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 50,456 Apexias, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, the government has outlawed extremist parties, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and increasing numbers of children in Caribbean Reef Shark have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caribbean Reef Shark's national animal is the Caribbean Reef Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Caribbean Reef Shark is ranked 255,459^th in the world and 149^th in Safari for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
