The People's Republic of Cavonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Walter Money with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.188 billion Cavonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cavonia City. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cavonian economy, worth 109 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,875 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cavonia's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cavonia is ranked 61,235^th in the world and 398^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 22.98 flags saluted per person per day.
