The Northlandic Socialist States of Charmi

The Northlandic Socialist States of Charmi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Torleif Ingvar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 83 billion Charmians 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 relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charmiva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Charmian economy, worth 87.0 trillion Charmian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,552 Charmian Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,414 per year while the poor average 8,253, a ratio of 31.4 to 1.

Charmi has designated Charmiva as its capital city, Charmi is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, Supreme Leader Torleif Ingvar has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Robantine Catholic Orthodox Christianity has been named as Charmi's national religion. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Charmi's national animal is the Charmi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Robantine Catholic Orthodox Christianity.
