The Supreme Empire of Karlenstein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Karlinius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.65 billion Karlensteinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlington. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karlensteinian economy, worth 242 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,252 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, the government spends billions to protect Karlenstein from a disaster that is one in a million, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlenstein's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Erutheism.

Karlenstein is ranked 242,164^th in the world and 9,229^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.13 Weapons Per Person.
