The Empire of The Kneebar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Gracie with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 41.222 billion Kneebarians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tap. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.
The thriving Kneebarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,223 trillion patellas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 78,203 patellas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Kneebar's national animal is the sting ray, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Catholicism.
The Kneebar is ranked 10,203rd in the world and 1st in Nationstates Hospital for Most Stationary, with 2,333.19206231168 days.
