The Commonwealth of Karinif

“To The Free Nation, Civilians Are Always Right”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Karinif is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Karin Smiths with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.958 billion Karinifians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karintine. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karinifian economy, worth 672 trillion Karinshons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 169,835 Karinshons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone seems to be pushing the buttons of AIs, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karinif's national animal is the Flamingo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flamingotion.

Karinif is ranked 284,869^th in the world and 9^th in The Qualactic Ozone of Quanigtarrious Jr for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.57 kickbacks per hour.
