The State of Knutsen

“Strength Through Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Knutsen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.464 billion Knutsenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Knutsenian economy, worth 662 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,348 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,995 per year while the poor average 10,526, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Knutsen's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Knutsen is ranked 32,443^rd in the world and 3^rd in Sao Tome e Principe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,981.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
