People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.1%.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,967 gambles, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paajarvi Lake-Karstula's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
