The Confederation of Karpler is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Albert Miller with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.982 billion Karplerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarinburg. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karplerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,390 trillion Luras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 174,161 Luras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Albert Miller can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, students eagerly await homework from their gaming class, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and nothing is as sacred as fermented soybean paste. Crime is totally unknown. Karpler's national animal is the Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karpler is ranked 300,940^th in the world and 4,485^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 4.32 Obesity Rate.
