The United States of Caropol is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Scarlett with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.255 billion Caropolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westington. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Caropolian economy, worth 689 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,226 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Caropol are famed for their reasonable volume levels, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caropol's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Caropol is ranked 14,089^th in the world and 37^th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,469.86 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
