The Reborn States of Karnea is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Masacon with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.658 billion Karneans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnopolisian. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Karnean economy, worth 199 trillion Karns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,511 Karns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

President Masacon's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karnea's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

Karnea is ranked 236,436^th in the world and 1,035^th in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -12 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
