The Semi-Constiutional Monarchy of Charoskania is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Anne with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, devout population of 1.273 billion Charoskanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fortified City of Alucarn. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Charoin economy, worth 122 trillion charanto-Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,860 charanto-Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, Queen Anne is called 'Patches' at international summits, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charoskania's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kalariasm.

Charoskania is ranked 233,723^rd in the world and 121^st in Confederacy of Layem for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
