Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of Karlskrona is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 599 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Milano Pizzeria. The average income tax rate is 72%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Karlskrona has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karlskrona's national animal is the Anarchist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Monopoly Krona.

Karlskrona is ranked 12th in United Confederacy of Nations and 75,345th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
