The People's Republic of The Cascadian Socialists is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chief Seattle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, otherworldly petting zoo, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.612 billion Cascadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cascadian economy, worth 167 trillion Cascadian Dollars 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,821 Cascadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Cascadians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the child of a rich parent flip-flops between decadence and poverty, the armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cascadian Socialists's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Cascadian Socialists is ranked 230,540^th in the world and 3,557^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.32 Obesity Rate.
