The RoirraW regnaRmmoC deriteR of Kingsteck is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murphy with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 43.24 billion Kingsteckians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Louis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kingsteckian economy, worth a remarkable 7,303 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,908 gold coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", the comic book series 'Murphy and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, vaccinations are mandatory, and smart fridges sing the praises of Taoism for fear of being iced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsteck's national animal is the turkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Taoism.

Kingsteck is ranked 9,630th in the world and 151st in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 93.57 quips per hour.
