The Mountains of Karagayan is a huge, genial nation, ruled by The Eye of the Night with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 846 million Karanites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karagaya. The average income tax rate is 82.4%.

The powerhouse Karanitian economy, worth 64.8 trillion tamasses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,617 tamasses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Magpie is a protected species, they who do not work shall not eat, nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, and gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karagayan's national animal is the Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Karagayan is ranked 8,166^th in the world and 20^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,061.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
