The Earl K Long Campus of Charity Hospital is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Earl K Long with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.107 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, eminent domain has been abolished, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Charity Hospital's national animal is the kitty, and its currency is the blue card.

Charity Hospital is ranked 3rd in Hello Kitty and 78,642nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
