The Mysterious Airship of King Carl is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.779 billion King Carlians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King Carl City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.0%.

The frighteningly efficient King Carlian economy, worth an astonishing 24,377 trillion lats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 645,265 lats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,995,451 per year while the poor average 160,870, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, Jennifer Government is banned, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. King Carl's national animal is the great leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.

King Carl is ranked 9^th in the world and 1^st in Hattrick for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 35,228.48 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
