The Principality of Silly Charles is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.057 billion Silly Charlesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Silly Charlesian economy, worth 86.0 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,370 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, government spending has hit an all-time low, and business is banging at no-tell motels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silly Charles's national animal is the anima, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Silly Charles is ranked 161,002^nd in the world and 204^th in Charleslandia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,706.29 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
