The Republic of Charles 7 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 634 million Charles 7ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Charles 7ian economy, worth 54.8 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,486 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Warning signs caution Charles 7ians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 7's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charles 7 is ranked 231,111^th in the world and 1^st in Smely PooP for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.9 percentage of bribes refused.
