The Mysterious Airship of King Carl is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 45.888 billion King Carlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Carl City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient King Carlian economy, worth an astonishing 27,600 trillion lats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 601,483 lats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
A Hattrick Tourist Association survey has rated King Carl #1 for number twos, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. King Carl's national animal is the great leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.
King Carl is ranked 324,436th in the world and 1st in Hattrick for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
