The Republic of Carpentor is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory vegetarianism, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.024 billion Carpentorians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Education not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Carpentorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,399 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 299,029 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,123,678 per year while the poor average 13,984, a ratio of 151 to 1.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive, children have only the most basic of education, and the legal profession considers itself above the law. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Carpentor's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Carpentor is ranked 115,639^th in the world and 41^st in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,318.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
