The Horse-pulled Cart of Charioteer is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.345 billion Charioteers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.
The very strong Charioteerian economy, worth 270 trillion cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,641 cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,469 per year while the poor average 6,802, a ratio of 33.9 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Charioteer's national animal is the sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Charioteer is ranked 6,013th in the world and 17th in Lily for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,505.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
