The Republic of Kexholm Karelia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 922 million Kexholm Karelians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The strong Kexholm Karelian economy, worth 53.2 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,730 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Kexholm Karelia's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Kexholm Karelia is ranked 68,899^th in the world and 2,507^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 72 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
