The Armed Republic of Kikkori is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 11.579 billion Kikkorians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Kikkorian economy, worth 468 trillion Loots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,490 Loots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kikkori's national animal is the Jaguar.
Kikkori is ranked 109,952nd in the world and 3,765th in Lazarus for Most Extreme, scoring 22.58 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
