The Commonwealth of Kaspovia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.928 billion Kaspovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaspovian economy, worth 308 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,497 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, sex changes are routinely performed at Kaspovia's hospitals, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaspovia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaspovia is ranked 14,541^st in the world and 18^th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,442 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
