The Republic of Cassiopeia 050 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.04 billion Cassiopeia 050ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cassiopeia 050ian economy, worth 399 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,336 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cassiopeia 050's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cassiopeia 050 is ranked 316,352^nd in the world and 14,843^rd in Osiris for Most Pacifist, with 5.64 cheeks turned per day.
