The Imperial Trade Conglomerates of Karzstov is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor-Executive Blunt with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.339 billion Karzstovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treasure Chest. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Karzstovian economy, worth a remarkable 6,516 trillion federal dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 454,463 federal dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,485,519 per year while the poor average 104,509, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, Emperor-Executive Blunt can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, and vehicular homicide by Karzstovian ambassadors is a leading cause of death throughout the world's capital cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karzstov's national animal is the giant monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the association.

Karzstov is ranked 330,149^th in the world and 25^th in Shadowport for Nicest Citizens, with 0.15 average smiles per day.
