The Fishermen of Carriacou is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 30.256 billion Carriacouans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carriacou. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Carriacouan economy, worth a remarkable 5,899 trillion Knots a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 194,991 Knots, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,807,432 per year while the poor average 1,996, a ratio of 905 to 1.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and concussed Seagullball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Carriacou's national animal is the Seagull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Carriacou is ranked 1,161^st in the world and 64^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 19,268.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
