The Unfettered Peoples of Kilemao is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 9.441 billion Kilema 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, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kawanna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.
The thriving Kilem economy, worth 771 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,683 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kilemao's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Kilemao is ranked 154,848th in the world and 3rd in Second Guesses for Safest, scoring 57.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
