The Peoples Republic of Carsaig is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 22.293 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cnoc na Faire . The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Furniture Restoration.

Only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the government seizes all major gold finds, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. 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 2nd in Urbanites and 6,167th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 25 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
