The Republic of KMB is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.15 billion KMBians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient KMBian economy, worth 497 trillion Hong Kong Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,832 Hong Kong Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into KMBian as 'your finger, you fool', the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KMB's national animal is the Motor Bus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
KMB is ranked 267,910th in the world and 81st in Kowloon for Most Beautiful Environments, with 86.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
