The Reborn States of Karnea is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Masacon with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.586 billion Karneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnopolisian. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Karnean economy, worth 998 trillion Karns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,772 Karns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany President Masacon to meetings with foreign heads of state, trains and passengers alike are often late, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Karnopolisian to enjoy their national art, and Karneans submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karnea's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No National Religion.

Karnea is ranked 3,813^th in the world and 87^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,694 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
