The Technocracy of Karazan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Fabricator-General Cael with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 31.08 billion Karazanites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telok Peak. The average income tax rate is 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karazanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,799 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,790 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Karazanian lands, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karazan's national animal is the Miniature Tarrasque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karazan is ranked 159,804^th in the world and 2,326^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 782.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
