The Realms of United Kingdom of Karpathia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by PM Laura Braun with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 4.302 billion Karpathians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairwinds. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karpathian economy, worth 798 trillion Karpath Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 185,699 Karpath Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. United Kingdom of Karpathia's national animal is the Royal Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Apostolic Catholicism.

United Kingdom of Karpathia is ranked 7,199^th in the world and 148^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 57.39 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
