The Castle of Carmilla is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 26.449 billion Vampires enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Carmilla's economy, worth 403 trillion Roses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 15,261 Roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, voting is voluntary, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carmilla's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carmilla is ranked 109,476^th in the world and 3^rd in Austria for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43.68 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
