The Federal Republic of Cariniae is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.915 billion Carinians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The Cariniaean economy, worth 156 trillion Rasios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 53,558 Rasios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cariniae's national animal is the Ţaedal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cariniae is ranked 193,084^th in the world and 7^th in Federation of Allies for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
