The Provinces of The Community of Cascadia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Parliament of Cascadia with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.449 billion Cascadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cascadian economy, worth 712 trillion Cascadian dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,774 Cascadian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Cascadian language, '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Cascadian websites are meant for liberals or conservatives, and ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen. Crime is totally unknown. The Community of Cascadia's national animal is the Kermode bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.

The Community of Cascadia is ranked 10,212^th in the world and 151^st in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,798.76 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
