The Commonwealth of San Carlos Islands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Elena Kuznetsova with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.669 billion San Carlos Islanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Healthcare, Environment, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Carlos City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.3%.

The frighteningly efficient San Carlos Islander economy, worth 385 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 144,575 Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. San Carlos Islands's national animal is the Kermode bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Secularism.
