The Communist Proletarian Union of Carrico is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Margoza Oblongata with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.088 billion Carricoistas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Visa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Carricoite economy, worth a remarkable 4,713 trillion Trans-Union labour credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,647 Trans-Union labour credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food", and Port Visa Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carrico's national animal is the Xoloitzcuintli, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ukuzéthemba.

Carrico is ranked 328,850^th in the world and 540^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -15.82 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
