The Grand Duchy of Cassaralla is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Duke Christo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 47.662 billion Cassarallans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfheim. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cassarallan economy, worth an astonishing 21,105 trillion Sovereigns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 442,821 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, in a fit of passion Grand Duke Christo has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cassaralla's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Banjoism.

Cassaralla is ranked 427^th in the world and 1^st in Lemuria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 208.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
