The Borderland Queendom of Karistina is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Karistina Rajem with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.847 billion Karistinans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rajem. The income tax rate is 100%.

The large but stagnant Karistinan economy, worth 776 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 18,560 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, group hugs break out during floor votes, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karistina's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Karistina is ranked 14,086th in the world and 2nd in Bisexual for Most Secular, with 86.21 Atheism Rate.
