The Monarchical State of Charoskania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Anne with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.396 billion Charoskanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alucarn. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Charoskanian economy, worth 875 trillion charantoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,403 charantoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Charoskanian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and news headlines suggest that Queen Anne has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charoskania's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Charoskania is ranked 287,100^th in the world and 1,282^nd in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
