The Queen's State of Carroll Benton is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 43.862 billion Carroll Bentonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The strong Carroll Bentonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,804 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving.

Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Carroll Benton's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
