The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 32 million Carrot Gunians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Average income is 11,674 Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
