The Empire of CreativeSolutions is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Charles II with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.822 billion CreativeSolvers 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budarest. The average income tax rate is 58.8%.

The thriving CreativeSolver economy, worth 360 trillion E-monies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,879 E-monies, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, short is not always sweet, Emperor Charles II's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CreativeSolutions's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is CreativeSolver Apostolic Church.

CreativeSolutions is ranked 280,205th in the world and 100th in Wintercrest for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.31 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
