The Empire of Carolean Dynasty is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Otto IV with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.405 billion Caroleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Carolean economy, worth a remarkable 1,692 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,581 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, many rural villagers have never been more than a day's horse-ride from their birthplace, and protestors are soaking piles of Crowns in blood to make a point about government incomes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carolean Dynasty's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Carolean Dynasty is ranked 26,917^th in the world and 102^nd in Forest for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,076.27 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
