The Kingdom of The Cascadian Antarctic is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Leader Wayne King with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.833 billion Cascadian Antarcticans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Grosvenor. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cascadian Antarctic economy, worth 453 trillion krónas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,289 krónas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cascadian Antarctic's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Cascadian Antarctic is ranked 226,479^th in the world and 255^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
