The Federal Republic of Karelias is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 736 million Karelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viipuri. The average income tax rate is 63.9%.

The Kareliasian economy, worth 47.6 trillion Markkaa a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,617 Markkaa, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karelias's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karelias is ranked 126,196^th in the world and 587^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 923.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
