The Peace of Carolineke is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Carolineke with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 32.864 billion Carolinekeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carolineburg. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Carolinekean economy, worth a remarkable 3,852 trillion Franks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,213 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carolineke's national animal is the Leeuw, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Carolineke is ranked 190,411th in the world and 7,761st in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
