The Mind of Charlotte Ryberg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Joana with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 33.364 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 Athens. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Minoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,446 trillion Minoan tala 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 133,283 Minoan tala, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign government's extravagances, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, the weather in Athens is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. 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 250,243^rd in the world and 5^th in Hinduism for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.55 bananas ingested per day.
