The Caravans of Santa Carina Wheels is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Zythe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.025 billion Wheel Devotees are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Florianopolis. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The strong Santa Carina Wheelsian economy, worth 117 trillion Wheel Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,186 Wheel Tokens, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, Wheel Worship has been named as Santa Carina Wheels's national religion, Lord Zythe has just been declared ruler of Santa Carina Wheels in an international press conference, and they say that Lord Zythe's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Santa Carina Wheels's national animal is the Gold tipped eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Wheel Worship.
