The Queendom of Caro II is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 5.837 billion Caroans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Caro IIian economy, worth 133 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 22,878 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caro II's national animal is the crocodile.
Caro II is ranked 156,232nd in the world and 2nd in Yorkshire Establishment for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 62.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
