The Progressive Republic of Megacars is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Miles Earnhardt III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 27.74 billion Carisians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vauxholm. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Carisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,490 trillion Nostroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 161,879 Nostroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Megacars's national animal is the Stangnir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Peugatti.

Megacars is ranked 6,742^nd in the world and 11^th in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
