The Reborn States of Karnea is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Masacon with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.607 billion Karneans 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, 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 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Karnean economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Karns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,075 Karns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and AI citizens are criticized for being robotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karnea's national animal is the Eurasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No National Religion.

Karnea is ranked 2,900^th in the world and 60^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 249.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
