The Republic of Casmana is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10 million Casmanans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Casmanan economy, worth 679 billion Chasberths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 67,896 Chasberths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, one does not simply walk into the tundra, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Casmana's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Casmana is ranked 111,615^th in the world and 60^th in Britannia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,970 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
