The Kingdom of Cartures is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Maarten Paulus III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.445 billion Carturesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carturia. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Carturesian economy, worth 809 trillion Floreijns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,123 Floreijns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Commemoration of the Great The North Pacific War costs almost as much as the war itself, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cartures's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cartures is ranked 266,347th in the world and 13,756th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -372.88 on the Hayek Index.
