The Community of Caffeination is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 343 million Caffeinated love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Caffeinated economy, worth 13.2 trillion Coffeebeans 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. 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 38,524 Coffeebeans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, what happens in court stays in court, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone. Crime is totally unknown. Caffeination's national animal is the puppydog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caffeination is ranked 15,341st in the world and 39th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 116.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
