The Queen's State of Korolevskiy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.005 billion Korolevskiyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The thriving Korolevskiyian economy, worth 911 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 50,630 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,096 per year while the poor average 4,685, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Korolevskiy's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korolevskiy is ranked 236,375^th in the world and 5^th in Saint Petersburg for Most Beautiful Environments, with 361.93 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
