The Republic of Charles 67 is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 497 million Charles 67ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Charles 67ian economy, worth 41.8 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, Tourism, 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 84,099 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 67's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charles 67 is ranked 85,956^th in the world and 133^rd in Charleslandia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 53.22 Effective Tax Rate.
