The Republic of Charles 2 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, cynical population of 571 million Charles 2ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.0%.

The thriving Charles 2ian economy, worth 45.6 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,852 Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,765 per year while the poor average 13,110, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, and scrapyards are filled with Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 2's national animal is the Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Charles 2 is ranked 138,110^th in the world and 77^th in Voidwolf for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,127.7 Standard Monetary Units.
