The Mind of Charlotte Ryberg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Charlotte Ryberg with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 37.346 billion Minoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Minoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,992 trillion Minoan tala a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,670 Minoan tala, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em". Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Charlotte Ryberg's national animal is the blue and yellow bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Charlotte Ryberg is ranked 4,669^th in the world and 1^st in Funen for Most Cultured, scoring 174 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
