The Republic of Carlos Alcatraz is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.791 billion Carlos Alcatrazians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Carlos Alcatrazian economy, worth 275 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,517 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Water fights now end with thousands dead, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carlos Alcatraz's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carlos Alcatraz is ranked 250,690^th in the world and 4^th in New Alvarez Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 40,517.77 Standard Monetary Units.
