The Machine Dictatorship of Kharaa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Great Coordinator with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, disturbing lack of elderly people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.256 billion Kharens 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Primus Nexus. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kharen economy, worth a remarkable 2,001 trillion Credits 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 177,855 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Kharaa, small shoes often wash up on the beach, babysitters are a thing of the past, and the might of the entire Kharen Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kharaa's national animal is the Iron Feathered Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tech Worship.

Kharaa is ranked 5,662nd in the world and 32nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 47,366.89 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
