The Socialist Republic of Carinthea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Fulcrum with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 15.724 billion Carintheans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Friedrichshafen. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carinthean economy, worth a remarkable 3,354 trillion Schillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,347 Schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Chancellor Fulcrum has won three lotteries in a row, the Fox has a hungry look, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carinthea's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Carinthea is ranked 2,557^th in the world and 84^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
