The Mysterious Airship of King Carl is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 44.276 billion King Carlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Carl City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient King Carlian economy, worth an astonishing 26,543 trillion lats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 599,490 lats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,959,571 per year while the poor average 137,859, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, police nightsticks see use all day long, bilingual King Carlians are viewed with suspicion, and the national defense strategy is a little floppy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. King Carl's national animal is the great leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.

King Carl is ranked 285,530^th in the world and 1^st in Hattrick for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -23.45 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
