The Federal Republic of Greater Carloso is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Cárlos Tobón with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 17.409 billion Carlosians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrigal. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carlosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,460 trillion Carlosian deroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,334 Carlosian deroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing numbers of children in Greater Carloso have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, war vets look after war animals, and the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Carloso's national animal is the Ebon imperial eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Greater Carloso is ranked 22,428th in the world and 6th in Kali Yuga for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
