The Ascendent Techno-Corp State of Karthor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Sathon Sazeden with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.124 billion Ruvingalics are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cetenisia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruvingalic economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 trillion Zero-Five E-Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 194,716 Zero-Five E-Coins, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, both illness and poverty are seen as signs of low moral worth, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karthor's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arbitration.

Karthor is ranked 115,500th in the world and 15th in Imperial Pact for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
