The Swordsman's State of Kinkerland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Swordsman Neya-Neya with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 18.177 billion Kinkerlanders 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tartland city. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kinkerlandét economy, worth a remarkable 2,781 trillion Moolas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 153,030 Moolas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Kinkerlanders made a dessert and called it peace, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, t-shirts displaying a photo of Swordsman Neya-Neya performing the Full-Monty are selling out, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kinkerland's national animal is the Shoggoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kinkerland is ranked 26,882^nd in the world and 2^nd in The White Stag Republic for Most Patriotic, with 29.63 flags saluted per person per day.
