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

The Grand Republic of Charcoaltropolis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Julius Carbones with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 17.946 billion Charcoaltropolisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charcoaltropolis. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Charcoaltropolisian economy, worth a remarkable 8,391 trillion Charcoals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 467,576 Charcoals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, the nation refuses to provide international aid, Charcoaltropolisians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, and men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Charcoaltropolis's national animal is the Charcoaltolian, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Church of Charcoal.

Charcoaltropolis is ranked 278^th in the world and 1^st in New Western Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,388.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
