The Queen's Domain of Cardon is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alice Kurfurst with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.532 billion Cardonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asuna. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cardonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,344 trillion Cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,103 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cardon's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cardon is ranked 153,604^th in the world and 6,304^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 58.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
