The Mind of Charlotte Ryberg is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Joana with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 33.375 billion Minoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare is also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Minoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,448 trillion Minoan tala a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,283 Minoan tala, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign government's extravagances, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, the weather in Athens is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Charlotte Ryberg's national animal is the little owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Charlotte Ryberg is ranked 251,020^th in the world and 5^th in Hinduism for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.55 bananas ingested per day.
