The Mind of Charlotte Ryberg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by a good democracy with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.249 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cornford and Cross. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Retail and Tourism.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and sex changes are routinely performed at Charlotte Ryberg's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charlotte Ryberg's national animal is the chaffinch, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the tala.

Charlotte Ryberg is ranked 1st in Funen and 1,244th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 123 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
