The People's Republic of Zapudnaaaa-Kareljaa is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 45 million Zapudno-Karelicÿ 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zapudno-Kareliski economy, worth 2.08 trillion rubĺÿs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,305 rubĺÿs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, nudity is frowned upon, and denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zapudnaaaa-Kareljaa's national animal is the orÿl, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zapudnaaaa-Kareljaa is ranked 169,423^rd in the world and 492^nd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 553.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
