The Federal Republic of United Carolinia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Claire Hale with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.931 billion Carolinians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anacostia DC. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carolinian economy, worth 225 trillion UC Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,603 UC Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", war vets look after war animals, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Carolinia's national animal is the White-Tailed Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

United Carolinia is ranked 233,805^th in the world and 89^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
