The People's Republic of Cahaya is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Bambang Ardiyanto with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.286 billion Cahayans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rajawali. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cahayan economy, worth a remarkable 1,320 trillion kupangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 249,848 kupangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, Cahayan military drills look more like joint-Talonia exercises than anything else, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and gene-engineered sewerjacks don't smell but they do stink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cahaya's national animal is the mousedeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cahaya is ranked 306,216^th in the world and 1,059^th in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 2.1 Obesity Rate.
