The Eternal Ranger of Karputsk is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by William Attlee with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.97 billion Karputskians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prutin. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Karputskian economy, worth a remarkable 4,698 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 146,960 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, hospitals in Karputsk are too busy serving the needs of the Rejected Realms to see Karputskians, and the nation is known as the cheapskates of the Rejected Realms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karputsk's national animal is the Philip, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karputsk is ranked 3,856^th in the world and 76^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 16,365.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
