The Endorse Merlovich Nation of Kangarawa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Adrienne Miller with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 35.012 billion Kangarawans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tasman. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kangarawan economy, worth a remarkable 6,988 trillion Wazoos a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,591 Wazoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Tasman's playgrounds, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kangarawa's national animal is the Tasmanian Devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Proferism.

Kangarawa is ranked 17,621st in the world and 382nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,562.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
