The Armed Republic of Cades is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 190 million Cadesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Cadesian economy, worth 4.94 trillion Lire 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 26,013 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
No one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cades's national animal is the Ziz, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cades is ranked 69,161st in the world and 2,068th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 95.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
