The Revolutionary Forces of Unitary Republic of Carnia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by General John Frankfurt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.855 billion Carnians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Former Imperial Capital District- Carnea. The average income tax rate is 49.2%.

The all-consuming Carnian economy, worth 661 trillion Republic Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 96,517 Republic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, and suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unitary Republic of Carnia's national animal is the Carnian Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Voice to the People.

Unitary Republic of Carnia is ranked 34,598^th in the world and 5^th in Imperial Sanctuary for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
