The Technocracy of Karazan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Fabricator-General Cael with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 31.109 billion Karazanites love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karazanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,826 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 219,422 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, all footpaths have tollbooths, and citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones. 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 3,275^th in the world and 158^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 57 average smiles per day.
