The Free Land of Cadmon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Guy Fawkes with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.516 billion Cadmonians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heart. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Cadmonian economy, worth 286 trillion guilders 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 38,181 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cadmon's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Whatever you like.

Cadmon is ranked 119,771st in the world and 4th in Technologica for Most Stationary, with 299.03823222652 days.
