The Commonwealth of Cassiopeus is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 150 million Cassiopeians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cassiopeian economy, worth 15.8 trillion Cass Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,501 Cass Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, Leader has killer fashion sense, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cassiopeus's national animal is the Steller's Sea Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Cassiopeus is ranked 26,237^th in the world and 2^nd in ScuffiaProjectia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
