The Kingdom of Cartures is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Maarten Paulus III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.456 billion Carturesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carturia. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Carturesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 trillion Floreijns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,917 Floreijns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Notable individuals are granted land and titles, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the tax department is having withdrawal symptoms, and slaves who produce weapons are given free samples. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cartures's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cartures is ranked 2,520th in the world and 116th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
