Kara the sweet

The Republic of Kara the sweet is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.656 billion Kara the sweetians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kara the sweetian economy, worth 100 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,384 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kara the sweet's national animal is the loon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
