The United People's Kingdoms of Charavent is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Giorgio Alfonso with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.469 billion Charaventians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vanderópolis. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Charaventian economy, worth 773 trillion sterinas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 173,020 sterinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The new prison system is crowding up at an alarming rate, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Charavent are famed for their reasonable volume levels, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake". Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Charavent's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cujheonism.

Charavent is ranked 271,843^rd in the world and 63^rd in Arakeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 37.41 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
