The Queendom of Carcacosa is a fledgling, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 5 million Carcacosans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Carcacosan economy, worth 202 billion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,555 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carcacosa's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carcacosa is ranked 185,092^nd in the world and 587^th in Europe for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 260.35 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
