The Reformed Colonial Empire of Konid is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Ezekiel Johnston with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.234 billion Konidis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mechanus. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Konidi economy, worth 588 trillion Credit Notes 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 181,953 Credit Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konid's national animal is the Konidi Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Kyarthism.

Konid is ranked 12,492^nd in the world and 2^nd in Bresima for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
