The Empire of Carolean Dynasty is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Otto IV with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.495 billion Caroleans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carolean economy, worth a remarkable 2,645 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 211,763 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Otto IV, old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training, the most recent election was a close race between Otto IV and Otto IV, and builders across Carolean Dynasty are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carolean Dynasty's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Carolean Dynasty is ranked 48,449^th in the world and 119^th in Forest for Largest Populations, with 12.5 billion capita.
