The People's Socialist Republic of Karlera is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.192 billion Karlerans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningon. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Karleran economy, worth 597 trillion Yofs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 187,299 Yofs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dartboard at the Karleran Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlera's national animal is the Sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karlera is ranked 147,994^th in the world and 1^st in Fossare for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,054.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
