The Rosarians and Chapleteers of Grand Carniola is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Stanislav Cvetko with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, feral children, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.303 billion Carniolans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ljubljana. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carniolan economy, worth a remarkable 1,280 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,368 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grand Carniola's national animal is the lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Traditionalist Catholic.

Grand Carniola is ranked 37,426^th in the world and 50^th in Catholic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
