The RoirraW regnaRmmoC deriteR of Kingsteck is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murphy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.573 billion Kingsteckians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Louis. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kingsteckian economy, worth a remarkable 6,714 trillion gold coins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,509 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Parents are really careful to pick the right gun for their kids' birthdays, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsteck's national animal is the turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taoism.
Kingsteck is ranked 255,709th in the world and 3,144th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
