The Reborn States of Karnea is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Movera with a fair hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.736 billion Karneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
