The People's Socialist Republic of Karlera is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.269 billion Karlerans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningon. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Karleran economy, worth 610 trillion Yofs 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 186,747 Yofs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlera's national animal is the Sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karlera is ranked 4,140^th in the world and 1^st in Fossare for Highest Poor Incomes, with 176,527.19 Standard Monetary Units.
