The Demented Marsupials of Kangaroocourt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Bazza with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 45.011 billion Kangaroocourtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The very strong Kangaroocourtian economy, worth a remarkable 6,398 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,156 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, and politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kangaroocourt's national animal is the bunyip, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is marsoopyisim.

Kangaroocourt is ranked 145,187^th in the world and 9^th in Dragon Lair for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 527.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
