The Most Serene Republic of Carefree Island is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.487 billion Carefree Islandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Carefree Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,003 trillion clamshells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,358 clamshells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaccinations are mandatory, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, even secular Carefree Islandians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carefree Island's national animal is the tiki bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Carefree Island is ranked 286,507^th in the world and 55^th in Nudist Dreamland for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -15.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
