The Grand Duchy of Courage Caverns is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Most Courageous Clark Chin-Calliwell with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.121 billion Courage Cavepeople have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creatis. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Courage Cavernsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion dollarydoos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,163 dollarydoos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Courage Cavernsian citizenship in droves, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Courage Caverns's national animal is the owlbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Not applicable.
