The Empire of Le Caqui is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 341 million Tomatoes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Le Caquian economy, worth 22.5 trillion persimmoneys a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,982 persimmoneys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Caqui's national animal is the Mion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Le Caqui is ranked 9,024^th in the world and 203^rd in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 5,061.55 milliStalins.
