The Enclave of Korolk is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.593 billion Korolkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunker 003. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Korolkian economy, worth a remarkable 3,236 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 221,782 US Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 815,234 per year while the poor average 42,664, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Agricultural science is the most competitive subject at universities, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Korolk at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Korolk's national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Korolk is ranked 70,549th in the world and 13th in The Fallout Wasteland for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
