The Empire of Koem Kab is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Great Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.299 billion Koem Kabs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federick City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Koem Kabian economy, worth an astonishing 15,792 trillion pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 912,889 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and the government is a law unto itself. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koem Kab's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koem Kabism.

Koem Kab is ranked 173,606th in the world and 1st in The Secret Order for Most Extreme, scoring 17.21 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
