The Commonwealth of Karsinnia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Etienne Guendez with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.067 billion Karsinnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurum Métropole. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Karsinnian economy, worth 643 trillion Commonwealth Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,343 Commonwealth Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karsinnia's national animal is the White Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Karsinnia is ranked 12,806^th in the world and 10^th in Ensio for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,605.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
