The People's Republic of Karpler is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Albert Miller with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.965 billion Karplerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarinburg. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karplerian economy, worth 612 trillion Luras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,443 Luras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime is totally unknown. Karpler's national animal is the Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Karpler is ranked 4,128th in the world and 692nd in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 19,739 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
