The State of Kartlos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.155 billion Kartlosians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The powerhouse Kartlosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,598 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 166,730 per year while the poor average 10,396, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Kartlos in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kartlos's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kartlos is ranked 88,852^nd in the world and 1^st in Sakartvelo for Highest Food Quality, scoring 25.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
