The Technocracy of Karazan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fabricator-General Cael with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 31.248 billion Karazanites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telok Peak. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karazanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,878 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,111 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Telok Peak University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through Fabricator-General Cael's window to draw attention to their issues, populations of two-headed Miniature Tarrasques have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and paleogeneticists have taken a Jurassic bite out of the budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karazan's national animal is the Miniature Tarrasque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karazan is ranked 313,312^th in the world and 4,537^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -30 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
