The Rogue Nation of Cardavaggio is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 471 million Cardavaggis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The thriving Cardavaggioan economy, worth 37.2 trillion deckcimals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 79,017 deckcimals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,044 per year while the poor average 20,330, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, warning signs caution Cardavaggis where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', builders across Cardavaggio are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and protests are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Cardavaggio's national animal is the shuffle cod, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Cardavaggio is ranked 140,857^th in the world and 5,182^nd in Osiris for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,036.94 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
