The Confederacy of Carolinas is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26.986 billion Carolinasians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Administration aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.
The powerhouse Carolinasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,007 trillion Palmetto Leaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 37,328 Palmetto Leaves, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,059 per year while the poor average 5,757, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.
Euthanasia is illegal, elections have been outlawed, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Carolinas's national animal is the Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Carolinas is ranked 267,624th in the world and 25th in North Carolina for Lowest Crime Rates, with 39.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
