The Republic of Karaginsky District is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The cynical, devout population of 601 million Karaginsky Districtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Karaginsky Districtian economy, worth 37.3 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,031 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karaginsky District's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Karaginsky District is ranked 174,458^th in the world and 321^st in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,146.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
