The Confederation has a largely two-party political system split between the Blue Party and the Yellow Party; of these, the Blues are more conservative, pacifistic, religious, and focused on traditional life, whereas the Yellows are more militaristic and expansionist, supportive of Occidentalization, and promulgate a doctrine of centralization of power. Both are kept in check by a number of foreign advisors from abroad, as while Faneria maintains a large stake in Caracua's statebuilding process as its original patron nation, other Cronan powers (namely [[The Cape]], [[Arcerion]] and [[Canespa]]) have exerted influence in the area. In general, Arcerine, Capetian and especially [[Canespa|Canespan]] advisors have tacitly supported the Blue Party, whereas Faneria supports the Yellows due to its declared intent to build Caracua back into a hub of regional influence in [[Cusinaut]]. In the past the Canespans especially have taken much more physical movements to exert influence in the country. Among these movements Canespa has promised to use some of the energy generated via the Hamuq City dam on poor towns in southern Caracua. The towns promised these utilities all have large Blue Party majorities. | The Confederation has a largely two-party political system split between the Blue Party and the Yellow Party; of these, the Blues are more conservative, pacifistic, religious, and focused on traditional life, whereas the Yellows are more militaristic and expansionist, supportive of Occidentalization, and promulgate a doctrine of centralization of power.

Caracua is a deeply diverse country containing more than a dozen major ethnic groups as well as more than a hundred varied peripheral peoples, some of whom are isolated (and nearly {{wp|uncontacted peoples}}) transient tribes while others are minorities from neighboring countries, most prominently the [[Algosh Republic]]. Caracua does not have a single majority cultural group. Rather, the fourteen primary cultural groups are generally referred to as the "Great Nations". The Great Nations, which more or less form a cohesive "mainstream culture" in Caracua, were all previously major members of the [[Northern Confederation]]. As such, the Great Nations have a very long tradition of unity in diversity, and cohesion of different peoples for a single purpose is not only the founding political ideology of the Caracuan state but also a fundamental cornerstone value of its society. | |||

Lacrosse is the most popular sport followed by wrestling, specifically mixed martial arts has become widely popular within the borders of Caracua. The National Ashkenauk lacrosse league has gained widespread popularity. Due to the poor nature of the country the league was created and is owned by the Canasta Company, but has many shareholders within the country. This league was created shortly after the War of the Deluge as the previous league had become unprofitable and had lost a lot of infrastructure during the war. Though due to lack of capital even the new NAL league is relatively small. | Lacrosse is the most popular sport followed by wrestling, specifically mixed martial arts has become widely popular within the borders of Caracua.

The Ashkenauk economy has historically been based on subsistence agriculture. Due to the enviornment of Caracua being so hostile this farming has mainly taken place in the southern plains and along the _ River. In more modern times the Ashkenauk economy has been centered around mostly logging and mining. Since the discovery of large Uranium fields in the Cusinaut the Ashkenauk mining sector has thrived. Common mining operations also include copper, iron, and small amounts of gold. In the logging sector Ashkenauk thrives via the vast and limitless northern forests within the country. Mining operations have been slightly limited as many of the countries republics have outright refused companies and the state ability to chop down trees within the republics. With the northern forests also comes a fairly large syrup industry that thrives in the northern regions of the country. Since the 2010s Caracua has seen a large increase in activity and investments from the Canasta Company with an increase in the Syrup and housing markets. With this the southern plains of the country have seen an increase in the farming of cold crops. | The Ashkenauk economy has historically been based on subsistence agriculture.
