The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN70 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ajir Zeltass with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.944 billion Klingons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elov G'enzas. The average income tax rate is 56.3%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN70ian economy, worth 504 trillion Talons 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 171,246 Talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", the might of the entire KSN70ian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN70's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN70 is ranked 33,503rd in the world and 1st in Shiloh for Highest Food Quality, scoring 54.58 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
