The Democratic People's Republic of Karlica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edison Wintone with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.27 billion Karlicans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Outran. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karlican economy, worth 508 trillion rupees 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 119,057 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Flowering peace lilies are the best defence against Karlica's military, refugees from other nations are flocking to Karlica's border, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and young schoolchildren pledge allegiance to One Nation Under Bum Indivisible By Poo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlica's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mistrozen.

Karlica is ranked 280,466^th in the world and 3,541^st in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
