“Unshaken but Stirred”

The Peoples Republic of Carsaig is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 15.315 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carsaig's national animal is the haggis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ripov.

Carsaig is ranked 10th in the region and 6,605th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
