The Agrarian Commonwealth of Carolina and Virginia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.873 billion Carolinginians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raleigh. The average income tax rate is 27.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Carolinginian economy, worth a remarkable 1,415 trillion tobacco leaves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,175 tobacco leaves, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, people all over Carolina and Virginia are dying of 'Mad Carpetbagger Disease', the Carolinginian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Carolina and Virginia's national animal is the carpetbagger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Carolina and Virginia is ranked 1,825th in the world and 1st in The Southeast for Most Primitive, scoring 192.08 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
