The Free Colonial Dominion of Carstenia 2 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 611 million Carstenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lawsiana. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Carstenia 2ian economy, worth 36.7 trillion Bolls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 60,106 Bolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, atheist missionaries spread doubt overseas, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and a secret Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Carstenia 2. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carstenia 2's national animal is the Grilled Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Carstenia 2 is ranked 263,012^th in the world and 67^th in Rosaria for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,134.31 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
