The United Bioregions of Carconia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Az-lrowigh Aurora with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.954 billion Carconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aziula. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Carconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion Varis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 189,466 Varis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage. Crime is totally unknown. Carconia's national animal is the Sylveran Meadow Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Azurism.

Carconia is ranked 1,941^st in the world and 35^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 12,374.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
