The Federation of Karolingia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Gorman Heisenberger with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.89 billion Karolingians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aachen. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Karolingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,427 trillion writs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,061 writs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, kids building model rockets in their backyard are grounded by Space Agency Rangers, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and there's a hole in the heart of every Karolingian city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karolingia's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Democracy.

Karolingia is ranked 10,526^th in the world and 2^nd in The Supreme Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
