The Confederation of Karpler is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Albert Miller with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.675 billion Karplerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarinburg. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karplerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion Luras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 171,678 Luras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best defense is a good fence, top universities admit students based on how often they correct interviewers, Albert Miller can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, and students eagerly await homework from their gaming class. Crime is totally unknown. Karpler's national animal is the Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karpler is ranked 1,874^th in the world and 353^rd in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 52,403 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
