The Armed Republic of Krma is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.392 billion Krmen are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polaris City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The very strong Krman economy, worth 450 trillion floriens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,993 floriens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,051 per year while the poor average 9,634, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.
Sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and drunk drivers are sentenced to death. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Krma's national animal is the serpent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Krma is ranked 107,341st in the world and 2,221st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,528.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
