The Suzeranity of Emperor Carl is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Suzerain with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 33.515 billion Imperial Citzens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 4.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 3,447 trillion Carloreans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,857 Carloreans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and posh kids don't look down on the poor any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Emperor Carl's national animal is the Liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Old Code.

Emperor Carl is ranked 25,223^rd in the world and 38^th in NationStates for Highest Drug Use, scoring 106.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
