The Social Democratic Republic of Karevka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Secretary Artyom Komissarov with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.573 billion Karevkans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, 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 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Karevkan economy, worth 172 trillion Kordmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,354 Kordmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, the red star of communism has been replaced by the gold star of the McRonald's badge, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. 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 18,145^th in the world and 17^th in New World Union for Most Developed, scoring 77.27 on the Human Development Index.
