The Holy Empire of Karett is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 207 million Karetis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Karetian economy, worth 8.88 trillion Baks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,877 Baks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship, and the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karett's national animal is the Kit fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karett is ranked 74,600th in the world and 88th in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 92.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
