The Democratic Republic of Karymsk is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Premier Konstantin Tanvallios with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.908 billion Karymskians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kilonissi. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karymskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion Karymskian Peshnas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 176,509 Karymskian Peshnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and Kilonissi spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karymsk's national animal is the Osprey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Karymsk is ranked 281,759th in the world and 9,588th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 6.10438498208 days.
