The National Capital Territory of Cardenopolis is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rakumedur Markini Paralok with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.964 billion Kardanupalayim 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kardanupala. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kardanupalayi economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion Serads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 130,849 Serads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, and voters are one of the nation's top imports. Crime is totally unknown. Cardenopolis's national animal is the black panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cardenopolis is ranked 106,786^th in the world and 3^rd in Osagh for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,612.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
