The Republic of Caspie is a mid-sized, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 50 million Caspieans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The powerhouse Caspiean economy, worth 5.11 trillion Casps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,166 Casps, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 356,683 per year while the poor average 21,284, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

Homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Caspie's national animal is the Canary, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Caspie is ranked 214,538^th in the world and 2,566^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 515.62 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
