The Crown Estate of King Carlisle I is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Carlisle I with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.987 billion Walbardians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walbard City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The all-consuming King Carlisle Iian economy, worth 476 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 79,592 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 320,526 per year while the poor average 13,215, a ratio of 24.3 to 1.

The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, tech companies are playing whack-a-mole with one-post accounts, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"). Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. King Carlisle I's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.

King Carlisle I is ranked 123,643^rd in the world and 13^th in The Empire of Walbard for Largest Populations, with 5.99 billion capita.
