The Elective Principality of Carlia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prince Charles with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 9.381 billion Carlians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carlburg. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Carlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,805 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,484 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Carlia's radio stations, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carlia's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Carlia is ranked 43,944th in the world and 20th in Caer Sidi for Most Stationary, with 1,006.00090477012 days.
