The United Socialist States of Caspo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tākahajītø with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.424 billion Caspoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Libertad. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Caspoan economy, worth 65.5 trillion kroner 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,003 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, they who do not work shall not eat, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caspo's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caspo is ranked 188,520th in the world and 513th in Carcassonne for Most Primitive, scoring -75.18 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
