The State of --K is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.771 billion --Kians 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 tiny, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.
The very strong --Kian economy, worth 206 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,239 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, --K has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of --K in an international press conference, and the world outside is only known of in folklore. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. --K's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
--K is ranked 238,755th in the world and 45th in Federation of States for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
