The Commonwealth of Kables Madness is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 284 million Kables Madnessians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Kables Madnessian economy, worth 16.0 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 56,305 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,224 per year while the poor average 7,458, a ratio of 34.6 to 1.

The new one dollar coin also makes a handy throwing-star, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kables Madness's national animal is the Aardvark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kables Madness is ranked 62,822nd in the world and 801st in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 28.79 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
