The Republic of Karyotypic is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.673 billion Karyotypicians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Karyotypician economy, worth 440 trillion xjzfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,886 xjzfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
