The Coscivian Commonwealth of Carthinova is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its daily referendums and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 16.551 billion Carthinovans 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 enormous government prioritizes Welfare, although Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 45.8%.

The strong Carthinovan economy, worth 447 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,057 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, Coscivian Catholicism has been named as Carthinova's national religion, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime is well under control. Carthinova's national animal is the Carapin elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Coscivian Catholicism.

Carthinova is ranked 138,677^th in the world and 18^th in Greater Ixnay for Most Developed, scoring 56.56 on the Human Development Index.
