The Federal Republic of Komarin is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Devon Arnheim with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.361 billion Komarinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selkirk. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Komarinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,471 trillion Komarin Zloties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,386 Komarin Zloties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, asylum seekers have voted Komarin as best layover destination, genuine Borhols and Bonkskys can be found in every museum, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Komarin's national animal is the Roadrunner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Starism.

Komarin is ranked 29,766^th in the world and 71^st in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 142,386.33 Standard Monetary Units.
