The ☙ Holy Heiled Empire ❧ of Carstantinopipal is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Carson with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 6.097 billion Carsonites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carson City. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Carstantinopipalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,474 trillion Carson Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 241,904 Carson Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and the government is pouring billions into replacement brains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carstantinopipal's national animal is the Carsoraptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Carsonism.

Carstantinopipal is ranked 173,762^nd in the world and 113^th in The United Empires of Carson for Most Pro-Market, scoring -69.22 on the Rand Index.
