The Republic of Charles 65 is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 510 million Charles 65ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Charles 65ian economy, worth 37.2 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,856 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 65's national animal is the Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Charles 65 is ranked 86,621^st in the world and 156^th in Charleslandia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
