The Karma of Kamakura Kid is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kamakasi Kid with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.679 billion Kamakura Kidians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamakasi. The average income tax rate is 81.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Kamakura Kidian economy, worth a remarkable 2,460 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 210,669 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
The nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kamakura Kid's national animal is the Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Kamakura Kid is ranked 26,118th in the world and 1,675th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
