The Corporations Republic of Cartalma is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, flagrant waste-dumping, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 14.765 billion Cartalmen enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sfax. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cartalman economy, worth a remarkable 2,751 trillion 10mm bullets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 186,379 10mm bullets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,685,989 per year while the poor average 2,458, a ratio of 685 to 1.

Leader can be seen doing doughnuts in a new Rambogini, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, Sfax has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cartalma's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is invisible hand of the free market.

Cartalma is ranked 125,883rd in the world and 1,254th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 272.4690270086 days.
