The United Socialist States of Karakalskya is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 20 million Karakalskyans 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Karakalskyan economy, worth 494 billion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 24,702 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, the tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation is compulsory, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax Rubles each year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karakalskya's national animal is the Sea Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Karakalskya is ranked 197,968^th in the world and 44^th in Audinesca for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 399.01 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
