The Republic of Charles 11 is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 484 million Charles 11ians 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.1%.

The very strong Charles 11ian economy, worth 37.3 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,028 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, and the Charles 11ian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 11's national animal is the Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Charles 11 is ranked 94,714^th in the world and 1^st in RHINIA for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,457.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
