The Kaiserreich of Caverniss is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Ainsley Roland with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.641 billion Cavernissans 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grahamencracker. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Cavernissan economy, worth 210 trillion Cogs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,625 Cogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with dyslexia are told to tough through it, the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caverniss's national animal is the Grey Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Santaism.

Caverniss is ranked 183,154^th in the world and 527^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 291.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
