The Republic of Charles O is a very large, safe nation, notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 456 million Charles Oians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Charles Oian economy, worth 17.7 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 38,817 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, and the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles O's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charles O is ranked 79,818^th in the world and 95^th in Charleslandia for Safest, scoring 91.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
