The Democratic Republic of Karevka is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Secretary Artyom Komissarov with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 900 million Karevkans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korodvinsk. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Karevkan economy, worth 91.7 trillion Kordmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,904 Kordmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and builders across Karevka are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karevka's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karevka is ranked 153,789^th in the world and 55^th in New World Union for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 9.62 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
