The Mind of Charlotte Ryberg is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Joana with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 22.573 billion Minoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marousi. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Minoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,013 trillion talas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,511 talas, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan, Brasilistan has been announced as the nation's newest colony, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Charlotte Ryberg's national animal is the Little owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Charlotte Ryberg is ranked 30,043^rd in the world and 1^st in Hinduism for Most Extreme, scoring 26.54 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
