The Grand Duchy of Cavolin is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 40 million Cavolinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The Cavolinian economy, worth 1.90 trillion Drons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,624 Drons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, military spending recently hit a new high, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Leader to progressive thinkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Cavolin's national animal is the Swordfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Cavolin is ranked 109,181^st in the world and 171^st in The Black Hawks for Safest, scoring 78.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
