The Legendary Republic of Cakatoa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by James Drake with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 44.005 billion Cakatoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Environment, although Education, Social Policy, and Welfare are also considered important, while Industry and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragonopolis. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Cakatoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion orbs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 26,305 orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, anti-government web sites are springing up, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cakatoa's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cakatoa is ranked 32,361^st in the world and 2^nd in Lemuria for Safest, scoring 108.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
