The Imperial Remnant of Cartolia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Janill with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.382 billion Cartolians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Cartolia City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cartolian economy, worth a remarkable 5,005 trillion Jarcoes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 245,600 Jarcoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

General Janill's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime is totally unknown. Cartolia's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cupism.

Cartolia is ranked 61,506^th in the world and 2,126^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,890.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
