The Commonwealth of Carora is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.919 billion Carorans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Caroran economy, worth 275 trillion echoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,232 echoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance. Crime is totally unknown. Carora's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carora is ranked 42,263^rd in the world and 816^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 170 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
