The United Socialist Republics of Karelis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jerry with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.268 billion Karelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unbrion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The sizeable but inefficient a Karelian economy, worth 64.7 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 51,053 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the endangered saltwater humpback Coconut is only seen in captivity programs, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, and Jerry has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karelis's national animal is the Coconut, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karelis is ranked 198,453^rd in the world and 25^th in USSR for Largest Populations, with 1.27 billion capita.
