The Kingdom of Karalena is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 324 million Karalenans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.9%.

The Karalenan economy, worth 15.8 trillion K Kashes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,709 K Kashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The National Archive now covers square miles of warehouses in order to accommodate its new stone tablets system, a third of Karalenans are e-certified CEOs, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, and scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karalena's national animal is the giraffe.

Karalena is ranked 174,813^th in the world and 145^th in Benigtopia for Most Developed, scoring 54.4 on the Human Development Index.
