The Golden Realm of Karcovshkie is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kolbrenskie Carradov with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.15 billion Karvoks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kessadalt. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karvókean economy, worth 488 trillion Krowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,974 Krowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theoretical science is only theoretical, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karcovshkie's national animal is the Royal Blue Puffer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Karcovshkie is ranked 26,091^st in the world and 473^rd in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,721.62 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
