The Wayward Son of Lady Cari is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Cari with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.224 billion Carians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse Carian economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion fedoras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 102,650 fedoras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 516,337 per year while the poor average 11,405, a ratio of 45.3 to 1.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, 'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become Lady Cari's new moniker, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lady Cari's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is mocking you.

Lady Cari is ranked 153,463^rd in the world and 6^th in Niamark for Most Primitive, scoring -55.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
