The Allied States of Carthago Jadid is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hannibal Elector with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.801 billion Muatins 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kartaj. The average income tax rate is 17.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carthago Jadidian economy, worth 427 trillion kratiks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,769 kratiks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the smallest Carthago Jadidian towns can be seen from space, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Carthago Jadid's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carthago Jadid is ranked 226,168^th in the world and 2,170^th in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.53 Obesity Rate.
