The Mysterious Airship of King Carl is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 44.256 billion King Carlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Carl City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient King Carlian economy, worth an astonishing 26,467 trillion lats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 598,060 lats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,980,704 per year while the poor average 134,885, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, and citizens may now wear shoes while watching television as long as the television is outside and the shoes are rental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. King Carl's national animal is the great leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.

King Carl is ranked 2^nd in the world and 1^st in Hattrick for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2,758.61 kickbacks per hour.
