The Kingdom of Karshontia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Edgar IV with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.505 billion Karshontians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karshontinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Karshontian economy, worth a remarkable 1,241 trillion royal banknotes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 190,924 royal banknotes, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Karshontian as 'your finger, you fool', officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, and Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Karshontia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karshontia's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karshontia is ranked 20,817^th in the world and 2^nd in Nova Libertatia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
