The Principality of Carnethania is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 545 million Carnethanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krain. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong Carnethanian economy, worth 41.8 trillion Karns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,766 Karns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,842 per year while the poor average 20,547, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, organ donation is compulsory, and Carnethania has designated Krain as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Carnethania's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carnethania is ranked 139,991^st in the world and 129^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,808.76 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
