The State of Dolcci Carlos is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.841 billion Dolcci Carlosians 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 minute, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Dolcci Carlosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,197 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 40,135 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,875 per year while the poor average 2,156, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, the government is avowedly atheist, and Dolcci Carlos has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Dolcci Carlos's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dolcci Carlos is ranked 25,621st in the world and 7th in Tonga for Most Stationary, with 1,449.97547479288 days.
