The Empire of Charsador is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chars Erdg Oyr II with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.25 billion Charsadoriis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armados City. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Charsadorian economy, worth 197 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,539 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Charsadoriis any less frightened, cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charsador's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charsador is ranked 109,194^th in the world and 164^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,179.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
