The United Imperial Commonwealth of Karhad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Regant Louisa with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 1.287 billion Karhadis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mediport. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hoveran economy, worth 126 trillion Karhadi Imperial Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 97,854 Karhadi Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Karhad's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Karhadi Church of Protestanty.

Karhad is ranked 81,783^rd in the world and 1^st in Carnisia for Smartest Citizens, with 38.6 quips per hour.
