The Republic of -Charizard is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 261 million -Charizardians 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.0%.

The -Charizardian economy, worth 12.9 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,468 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, discarded pennies litter the streets, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Charizard's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

-Charizard is ranked 126,460^th in the world and 9^th in The Kingdom of Eevee for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 82.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
