The Senatorial Republic of Caerinthus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ālexăndėrōs Aūgūstŭs with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.714 billion Caerinthians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandriūm. The average income tax rate is 37.1%.

The all-consuming Caerinthian economy, worth 157 trillion Caerinthian dĕnārīīs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,811 Caerinthian dĕnārīīs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, the blood on the hands of Ālexăndėrōs Aūgūstŭs may not be metaphorical, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and Ālexăndėrōs Aūgūstŭs has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caerinthus's national animal is the Nautilus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Caerinthus is ranked 268,096^th in the world and 2,490^th in the Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.65 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
