The Suzeranity of Emperor Carl is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Suzerain with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, humorless population of 40.186 billion Imperial Citzens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, although Healthcare, Environment, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 21.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 4,443 trillion Carloreans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 110,564 Carloreans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, and harassment has been stamped out under the high-heeled jackboots of a matriarchy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emperor Carl's national animal is the Liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Old Code.

Emperor Carl is ranked 9,113th in the world and 211th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 123 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
