The Constitutional Monarchy of Carasa is a very large, genial nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 173 million Carasans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Carasan economy, worth 6.14 trillion caramels a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,517 caramels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the government has been criticized for giving away Carasa's territory to anyone who claims it, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Carasa's national animal is the caracal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carasa is ranked 73,620^th in the world and 2,211^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 93.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
