The Confederacy of Carraval is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 7 million Carravalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Carravalian economy, worth 248 billion Daberies a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,502 Daberies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is almost non-existent. Carraval's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carraval is ranked 272,426^th in the world and 1,531^st in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 50.64 on the Human Development Index.
