The Federal Empire of Kardjali is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Cordelia I with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.174 billion Kardjalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enoch. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kardjalian economy, worth a remarkable 5,628 trillion Sharisites a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,820 Sharisites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blood isn't quite as thick as it used to be, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', and public buses smell like litter boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kardjali's national animal is the Redhead Mallard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kardjali is ranked 5,150^th in the world and 57^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 265,820.8 Standard Monetary Units.
