The Federation of Korpijarvi Lake is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 897 million Korpijarvi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Administration, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Korpijarvi Lakean economy, worth 25.0 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,834 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Korpijarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble.

Korpijarvi Lake is ranked 179,413th in the world and 197th in Lakes in Finland for Most Extreme, scoring 16.82 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
