Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Night Goblin Stronghold of Karak Eight Peaks is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Skarsnik with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.202 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karak Eight Peaks City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Families are only permitted to have one child, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Karak Eight Peaks's national animal is the squig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Gork and Mork, and its currency is the teef.

Karak Eight Peaks is ranked 3,031st in Osiris and 130,953rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -16 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
