The New Cruor Federation of Karskite is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 29.293 billion Karskiteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government prioritizes Industry, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kor Demeter. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The all-consuming Karskitean economy, worth a remarkable 1,963 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,029 Halicarnassuses, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Avakael's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, supervisors in Karskite commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karskite's national animal is the White Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cruor.

Karskite is ranked 159,520th in the world and 719th in Ordo Imperialia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
