The Republic of Carinakerathe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by A Fearless Eel with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 16.659 billion Carinakeratheans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamburg City. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The powerhouse Carinakerathean economy, worth a remarkable 1,650 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,056 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carinakerathe's national animal is the Eel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Carinakerathe is ranked 4,436^th in the world and 79^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,493.24 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
