The Mysterious Airship of King Carl is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 43.991 billion King Carlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Carl City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient King Carlian economy, worth an astonishing 26,662 trillion lats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 606,085 lats, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, only rebellious teens who want to look cool and dangerous drink milk in public, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. King Carl's national animal is the great leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.
King Carl is ranked 49th in the world and 1st in Hattrick for Lowest Crime Rates, with 322 law-abiding acts per hour.
