The Kingdom of Knight of Ni is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.825 billion Knight of Nis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped A Knight of Ni economy, worth 61.6 trillion Herrings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 33,767 Herrings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings', government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and if they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knight of Ni's national animal is the Shrubbery, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Knight of Ni is ranked 237,169^th in the world and 21^st in Space Sector RPRA for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -4.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
