The Principality of Karlsburgh is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Karl VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.087 billion Karlsburghians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlsburgh. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Karlsburghian economy, worth 72.7 trillion Karls a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,849 Karls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlsburgh's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Karlsburgh is ranked 73,596th in the world and 1,520th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 105.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
