The Kingdom of Cadonio is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 983 million Cadonioans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Cardenas. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cadonioan economy, worth 100 trillion Stag Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,327 Stag Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cadonio's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cadonio is ranked 38,824^th in the world and 1,421^st in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,529.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
