The Commonwealth of Casoscaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Bearded Lady with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.513 billion Casoscarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beardopolis. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Casoscarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,802 trillion greenies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,356 greenies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, The Bearded Lady is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Casoscaria, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casoscaria's national animal is the schnauzer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Blessed Schnauzer.

Casoscaria is ranked 3,936^th in the world and 1^st in North Carolina for Highest Food Quality, scoring 224.69 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
