The Empire of The Carmor Empire is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 595 million Carmorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edinbrooke. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Carmorian economy, worth 59.5 trillion Dibellas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,080 Dibellas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and hell is not always other people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Carmor Empire's national animal is the Domestic house cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Carmor Empire is ranked 227,243rd in the world and 2nd in Barovia for Most Primitive, scoring -104.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
