The Republic of Careless is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 7.244 billion Carelessians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Carelessian economy, worth 235 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,505 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Careless's national animal is the tiger.

Careless is ranked 247,822^nd in the world and 1^st in Underground for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.96 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
