The Kingdom of Karrithia is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The cynical, devout population of 600 million Karrithians 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, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnith. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Karrithian economy, worth 46.0 trillion lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,637 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Karrithia remains pure, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, nudity is frowned upon, and those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karrithia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karrithia is ranked 251,894^th in the world and 340^th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
