The Empire of Carolean Dynasty is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Otto IV with a fair hand, and notable for its remarkably easy parental licensing program, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.465 billion Caroleans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carolean economy, worth a remarkable 2,584 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,341 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Otto IV wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, allergy-sufferers must wear gas masks before venturing outdoors, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and Otto IV's new office is 6 by 8 feet with steel walls and a barred door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carolean Dynasty's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Carolean Dynasty is ranked 269,656^th in the world and 190^th in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
