The Endless Kakistocracy of Basementees is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ođinnshrafn Khagan Numerian VI Drake with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.433 billion Thu'uls are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carthago Nova. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient K't Hu'ul economy, worth an astonishing 20,414 trillion Runcibles 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 744,146 Runcibles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, nothing gets the party jumping like Ođinnshrafn Khagan Numerian VI Drake specifying how high, young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have, and citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basementees's national animal is the Ursine Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nahuatl.

Basementees is ranked 203,611th in the world and 26th in Pax Britannia for Most Stationary, with 43.4452152506 days.
