The Republic of Charles 7 is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 663 million Charles 7ians 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 large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Charles 7ian economy, worth 59.2 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,311 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, and an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 7's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charles 7 is ranked 205,023^rd in the world and 1^st in Smely PooP for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
