The Holy Heiled Empire of Carstantinopipal is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Carson the Great and IronFist-200 with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.642 billion Carsonites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carson City. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Carstantinopipalian economy, worth 564 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 213,845 Carson Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Carsoraptors and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 58,830^th in the world and 4^th in The United Empires of Carson for Largest Populations, with 2.64 billion Capita.
