The Republic of Charles 66 is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical population of 504 million Charles 66ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.3%.

The all-consuming Charles 66ian economy, worth 47.6 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,377 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 66's national animal is the Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Charles 66 is ranked 57,395^th in the world and 20^th in Charleslandia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 52,568.11 Standard Monetary Units.
