The Republic of Cardiles

“We will not be undersold”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Cardiles is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 43.87 billion Cardilesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The thriving Cardilesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,078 trillion beers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,183 beers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardiles's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardiles is ranked 283,532^nd in the world and 12,083^rd in Lazarus for Most Extreme, scoring 5.08 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
