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

The Federal Republic of Karelianastan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Simon Archidamus with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.421 billion Karelianastanians 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, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingsburg. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karelianastanian economy, worth 627 trillion Karelianastanian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,700 Karelianastanian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karelianastan's national animal is the kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Karelianastan is ranked 48,047^th in the world and 139^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Populations, with 6.42 billion Capita.
