The Suzeranity of Emperor Carl is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Suzerain with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 42.043 billion Imperial Citzens 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, with Healthcare, Environment, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 4,702 trillion Carloreans a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,853 Carloreans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, spiritual tourists meditate in the ruins of Imperial cathedrals, and burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emperor Carl's national animal is the Liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Old Code.
Emperor Carl is ranked 9,631st in the world and 188th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 32.92 average smiles per day.
