The Good ol' nation of Karatol-Advenra is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Cult of Mars with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.149 billion Karatolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whatever Device I log in to. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Karatolian economy, worth a remarkable 2,970 trillion Random Souveniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 266,460 Random Souveniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, euthanasia is illegal, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Karatol-Advenra's national animal is the Depressed Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationstatesism.

Karatol-Advenra is ranked 3,558^th in the world and 75^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 653.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
