The Extistential Ambisian Dread of Charming Cthulhu is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Cthulhu with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 4.201 billion Charming Cthulhuans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Charming Cthulhuan economy, worth 167 trillion Souls of the Damneds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,946 Souls of the Damneds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren are divided over Cthulhu's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, the dartboard at the Charming Cthulhuan Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Cthulhu's face, all beauty contests have been banned, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charming Cthulhu's national animal is the Eldritch Horror, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Ancients.

Charming Cthulhu is ranked 108,193^rd in the world and 1,661^st in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 783.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
