The Republic of Karakalpak Republic is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 181 million Karakalpaks are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Karakalpak economy, worth 9.36 trillion Karakalpak Soms a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,701 Karakalpak Soms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Karakalpak Soms are being poured into a space program, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Karakalpaks any less frightened, the tobacco industry has burnt out, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karakalpak Republic's national animal is the Saiga antelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karakalpak Republic is ranked 178,503^rd in the world and 7,689^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
