The People's Union of Karatol-Advenra is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 591 million Karatol-Advenrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natakoma. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karatol-Advenran economy, worth 76.6 trillion Porets 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 129,679 Porets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Karatol-Advenrans, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karatol-Advenra's national animal is the Karatolian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Karatol-Advenra is ranked 147,316^th in the world and 5,740^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
