The Empire of Charley is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.953 billion Charleyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 39.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Charleyian economy, worth 401 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,485 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day, international tensions are high as Charley threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charley's national animal is the Duck.

Charley is ranked 258,239th in the world and 1st in BoyWithUke for Safest, scoring 25.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
