The Cuckoo's of Krazie Karl is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karl Marx with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 33.235 billion Krazie Karlians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oregon Asylum. The average income tax rate is 84.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Krazie Karlian economy, worth a remarkable 3,376 trillion pancakes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 101,608 pancakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Krazie Karl, people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait, the people's love for Karl Marx is little more than self-preservation, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krazie Karl's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Taoism.

Krazie Karl is ranked 31,258th in the world and 3rd in The Cuckoos Egg for Most Corrupt Governments, with 69.4 kickbacks per hour.
