The Nusantara United States of Karoghustan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Kayden Jones with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.42 billion Karonese 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of austienere. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karoghustanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,788 trillion averoes and patches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,044 averoes and patches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBK Governor goes house hunting, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, and cheating spouses are required to undergo job training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karoghustan's national animal is the comodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is All religion is allowed.

Karoghustan is ranked 24,318^th in the world and 45^th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 250.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
