The Republic of William Daniel Carpenter is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10 million William Daniel Carpenterians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing William Daniel Carpenterian economy, worth 266 billion Bud Lights a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 26,694 Bud Lights, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and Chocolates are considered a delicacy. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. William Daniel Carpenter's national animal is the Chocolate, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

William Daniel Carpenter is ranked 298,163^rd in the world and 16^th in Indy for Most Developed, scoring 45.12 on the Human Development Index.
