The New Republic of Greater Charlza is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sam Quinta with a fair hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.231 billion Charzlis 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raginsberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Charlzatic economy, worth 244 trillion Folics a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 109,533 Folics, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, lending money has become a major liability, entomologists flock to Raginsberg for its remarkable gadfly population, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Charlza's national animal is the Spirit Man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Independent Catholicism.

Greater Charlza is ranked 24,877^th in the world and 2^nd in United Republica for Most Developed, scoring 85.07 on the Human Development Index.
