The Republic of Charles 70 is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 42.7%.

The thriving Charles 70ian economy, worth 47.6 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,648 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles 70's national animal is the Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
