The Principality of Carnivia is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.185 billion Carnivians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.0%.

The thriving Carnivian economy, worth 413 trillion Rails a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 66,842 Rails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,443 per year while the poor average 14,382, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

Schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Carnivia's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Carnivia is ranked 196,135^th in the world and 10,793^rd in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.01 Effective Tax Rate.
