The Kingdom of Cartures is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maarten Paulus III with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.825 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, socially-minded, 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 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Carturesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,415 trillion Floreijns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,953 Floreijns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Maarten Paulus III has won three lotteries in a row, lavish state dinners in Carturia are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, colonial subjects have Carturesian culture shoved down their throats, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. 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 15,150^th in the world and 555^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 82.28 Atheism Rate.
