The Flying Jets and AA Missiles of Kowloon Aerospace Defense is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Grand General Wang Zhi with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.248 billion Kowloonis 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juberia Aerospaceport. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Kowloon Aerospace Defensean economy, worth 511 trillion Bay Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,385 Bay Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, Defenderism now admits men and women into its clergy, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kowloon Aerospace Defense's national animal is the Tumbling Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Defenderism.
Kowloon Aerospace Defense is ranked 32,708th in the world and 1,901st in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 66.41 kickbacks per hour.
