The Empire of 1CARTHAGE1 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-working, devout population of 281 million Carthaginians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 11.9%.

The 1CARTHAGE1ian economy, worth 12.3 trillion Shekels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 43,768 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The teaching of evolution has been banned, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1CARTHAGE1's national animal is the Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

1CARTHAGE1 is ranked 32,687^th in the world and 76^th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
