History
Early Life
Karl was born in the state of New York, and like other new people to the game, he was extremely curious to how the game works. However, he learned quickly and no longer held the 'Newbie' status. Noticing the political climate in America, he strongly supported Scrabman in his presidential elections several weeks before moving to Australia Temporarily. Although not involved in American Politics, he still supports Scrabman in Canadian politics as well, before the early stages of World War III.
Oil in 
Australia
| “ May peace be found in political apathy. - Karl Khan during his early visits to Australia. ” |
Karl first resided in Australia temporarily on 'vacation'. However, noticing the political apathy in the country itself, there were not much updates on who was being elected as president, which eventually led to his dissatisfaction in Australian Politics. He therefore left Australia on his first stay there and came back to America extremely unwell. It was thought that if he had stayed longer there without any employment, he would have been dead in the early weeks of the game. During his short stay, he also became an avid player in the Australian economy, frequently selling oil to several companies he worked earlier. However, his name prevented him from making a great deal of contacts then. Usually, once he had joined a company, he would be fired due to the racist managers. Eventually, he began to move frequently to Australia again to buy oil. He would have to secure deals with several companies, before selling it to them for a profitable sum of money. Despite several frauds, this in return, helped him sharpen his skills as a freelance trader in the new world before travelling to meet various cultures.
World War III
Karl became angry at the inefficiency of the American administration when World War III started. As he moved to the District of Columbia, he was told to move out immediately, ignoring the fact that he had just arrived. In New Jersey however, he was not informed of the overnight invasion of the state, just as he started working. Therefore, he had been dissatisfied with the American administration, leading to his anger at the free ticket service, which had ignored him the whole time when he needed the money to leave. In the waning months of the Russian offensive on North America, he left New Jersey to Florida after having to spend his credits on Russian notes.
A refugee in the 
Netherlands
| “ Hopefully, once i come back, first thing i wanna do is to eat a large American cheeseburger. - Karl, the day he left Florida for the Netherlands. ” |
After inviting long-time real-life friend Amz Danial, who was residing in Malaysia, he left for Netherlands, along with him, on his friend's suggestion to cool off from his anger. At that time, it was already when the southern states began to be freed from Portuguese hands. He stayed there for a maximum of 1-2 weeks, before returning to the USA. He was also delighted at the fact that he was earning more than his American Friends. At the time, he kept his citizenship as an American, since it was rare to hold such a title.
The Great Depression
Upon his return to the United States, he was greeted by more racist General Managers, even one which was taunting him with a job offer of 40 American Dollars. He also earned a measly modest wage, and often had to move to other companies to gain a suitable wage. Short on cash, he sold his remaining credits to move to Bolivia for a suitable job. At this point however, he was suggested by Amz Danial to begin his world tour of the New World, hoping it would gain a possible foundation for future events. Heeding his advice, he began his first world tour, which consisted of 5 nations.
First World Tour
Prelude
Before he set out for his first world tour, he had several goals to what he could achieve out of this.
- He would gain experience from a variety of cultures.
- Gain considerable amount of expertise in handling with different people, before dealing with them in a way.
These two objectives were the only ones at his mind at that time. He set out a long list of countries he had not been to, and set out on his journey. He saved up a considerable amount of money and food, as well as a house, and set off to his first destination, Bolivia. He had also convinced Amz Danial to join him in his quest, which Karl would look after him as well.
He had also started a travel guide in the selected countries, which can be read through his travel diary in his newspaper.
Working with the Bank of America
Before he could leave however, he needed to guarantee that should he arrive in deep trouble, he needed some cash to keep along, and he wouldn't trust himself as he was a heavy spender. Nonetheless, he contacted the long-defunct Bank of America, and offered them a deal.
For ever country he visited, he would gain a sum of money in that currency before donating it to the Bank of America, to start up the dead organisation. This in return, promised that once he entered any political scene, he had an unlimited amount of cash with him, which could be extracted at will.
Move to Third-World 
Bolivia
On his first day in Bolivia[1], he shared a common relationship with several people. As usual, the political scene wasn't like the United States. The decline in Population finally led him to leave the country without deep pockets, noting the high unemployment rates for his skills. He left the country at a wellness of 30, considered low at the time. According to his travel guide, he rated the country as:
“
Permanent place to stay? Highly Discouraged. - 1 out of 10. Overall: 3 out of 10 ” |
Karl in alien 
Hungary
Hungary was filled with a buzzing Media scene once he arrived there. Lagging behind, Amz Danial took a detour, and went to Germany instead. The detour meant that the difference in currencies could not support Amz, which Karl failed to support. In the end, Amz left Hungary, and back to the Netherlands, which almost led to his death due to his low wellness. Struggling with an unemployment scenario just like Bolivia, and a very 'alien' language which Karl could not translate, Karl unfortunately finally left Hungary at 1:01 Am, Sep 05, Day 655 of the New World, earlier than he expected to do so. According to his guide[2], his rating of the European nation was:
“
Permanent place to stay? Optimum. - 5 out of 10. Overall: 5 out of 10 ” |
Arrival in 
Germany
Karl arrived in Germany on 01:15 Am, Sep 05, Day 655 of the New World, becoming the third country in his world tour to visit. So far it was the best country he had ever been in, as the elections of Elisa Vorimberg heightened the political atmosphere. The employment rates also meant that Karl could attain a well-suited job there rather than the last two countries. There is currently no rating of the country itself. After staying in Germany for several days, Karl left the country on 02:22, September 08, on Day 658 of the New World. According to his exotic traveler guide[3], he rates Germany as:
| “ My rating?
Tax - 7 out of 10
|
Bank of America's Failure to pay
However, after being inactive for several weeks, Karl finally halted his donations to the Bank of America. This was because the Bank of America did not pay up the credits despite it replies to Karl's reminders. From this point, Karl only donated to Scrabman. This was thought to be the last of his Economic Career, but shortly after returning to Canada, he opened up an organization called the Arbiter Corporation.
Stuck in 
Pakistan with his Anti-Dioist opinions
Karl arrived in Pakistan, arguably thought to have been where some of his heritage originates, ot 03:00, on September 08, on Day 658 of the New World. On the first few days, he encountered financial problems as he ran out of Gold. Furthermore, he also had a feeling that the government was denying him of any retreat from Pakistan, as the moving tickets were priceless there. Being a religious person himself, he became dissatisfied with the people's followings in Pakistan. A majority of the people of Pakistan were followers of the Dioism, which he claims that Pakistan should be a country whose state religion should and always be of Islam or no religion. Furthermore, he disliked the fact that Pakistan only had one region, and that it was a popular country for exile. Karl finally refused to give out a review on day 661, and tried to leave Pakistan as soon as possible. However, as he had deep financial problems, he was stranded in Pakistan, and requested the help of Scrabman on the same day whom he promised to pay back. After being stranded in Pakistan, Karl exhaustively left the Diost-run country on September 11, Day 661 of the New World.
End of his first world tour and his retreat to 
Canada
| “ With eyes so aflame with the intensity of his waning life, that his words had the effect of an explosion. - Karl's relief after escaping to Canada from his worst experience in Pakistan. ” |
After escaping from Pakistan, Karl stayed in Canada for awhile before returning to USA.
Arbiter Corporation
Before he went to North Korea, Karl bought a company, entitled the Arbiter Corporation. Intended as a last measure to his economic career, his first investment came about in September 20 for a sum of 1 gold.
North Korea and back to 
USA
After several days in Canada, Karl applied for the US Mobile Infantry during his days as a Corporal. he was still in Canada, awaiting deployment when his application to the Mobile Infantry was accepted by Tsewell. He currently leads the 6th Platoon of Charlie Company, as Platoon Sergeant, under Lieutenant Christopher Moltisanti. Then, he was asked by his other commander, n4no to join the Air Force as well. As a result of this, he was deployed to North Korea on the morning of September 25 to vote for Mekell in his Congressional elections.
He returned to USA, after spending some time in Canada, the following day. He had traded his Canadian funds for his very own company, the Arbiter Corporation. Karl also worked as a Air man, and known for his activeness in travelling, he decided to join both the Air Force and the Mobile Infantry.
Unfortunately however, he arrived in the USA after fighting, which put his wellness to an all time low. With no hospitals in New York, Karl desperately needed to get out of his home state before he eventually gets killed. He needed to get out of work, and second of all, get to a hospital.

With the first three articles, the newspaper is steadily growing. However, he stopped due to financial problems occurred during his last leg of the first world tour, leaving his newspaper idle.
Unique Style & Flair
