The Reborn States of Karnea is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Masacon with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.534 billion Karneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnopolisian. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Karnean economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion Karns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,963 Karns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", and recognizing the Karnean flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karnea's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No National Religion.

Karnea is ranked 291,359^th in the world and 1,317^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.43 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
