The Most Serene Republic of Pyo Karma is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.857 billion Pyo Karmen are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pyo Karman economy, worth a remarkable 2,987 trillion Ensoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 201,050 Ensoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 912,914 per year while the poor average 27,117, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.

Fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pyo Karma's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pyo Karma is ranked 9,180th in the world and 3rd in Karma for Most Stationary, with 2,491.86998853552 days.
