The Pluricontinental Empire of Karrakar is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.687 billion Karrakaryans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Karrakaryan economy, worth 769 trillion saars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,465 saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Stray cats threaten the fledgling avian-based internet, the minority party is vilified for everything from fires to earthquakes, a major religion has been named as Karrakar's national religion, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karrakar's national animal is the hedgehog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Karrakar is ranked 247,776^th in the world and 44^th in Land for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.7 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
