The Democratic Republic of Carcassonnes is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Someone with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 4.993 billion Carcassonnians 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, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Intelivania. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Carcassonnesian economy, worth 337 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,636 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists call Carcassonnesian beach towns "the fine coastline", male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carcassonnes's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Smartist.

Carcassonnes is ranked 28,554^th in the world and 1,913^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
