The Republic of Kareia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Thomas Starling with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 18.173 billion Kareians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rivenward. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Kareian economy, worth a remarkable 4,461 trillion Meridians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,490 Meridians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
