The United Socialist States of Caspo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tākahajītø with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.514 billion Caspoans 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Libertad. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Caspoan economy, worth 78.0 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,494 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caspo's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caspo is ranked 28,393rd in the world and 76th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 109.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
