The Mountains of Karagayan is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by The Eye of the Night with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 790 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government 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 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Karanitian economy, worth 60.2 trillion tamasses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 76,159 tamasses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Eye of the Night has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, international negotiations always lead to a lot of missile-laneous expenses, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with The Eye of the Night, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. 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 116,110^th in the world and 146^th in Karma for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,758.55 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
