The Republic of Karmistan is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President Montain Kross with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 6.804 billion Karmistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karloff. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Karmistanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion Reins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 161,877 Reins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karmistan's national animal is the Kelsh Gold Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Karmistan is ranked 4,917^th in the world and 296^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,381.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
