The Rosarians and Chapleteers of Grand Carniola is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Stanislav Cvetko with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.535 billion Carniolans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ljubljana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Carniolan economy, worth a remarkable 2,582 trillion dinars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 206,014 dinars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Smoking is banned in public areas, young adults still believe that lynxes deliver newborns to expecting parents, there's nothing more Carniolan than revanchism, and the Ljubljana State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grand Carniola's national animal is the lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Traditionalist Catholic.

Grand Carniola is ranked 26,392^nd in the world and 8^th in Catholic for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 29,260.08 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
