The Federation of Kpio is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.755 billion Kpioans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Administration and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Kpioan economy, worth a remarkable 1,884 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 242,953 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,491,153 per year while the poor average 17,325, a ratio of 86.1 to 1.
Survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks, being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kpio's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kpio is ranked 303,517th in the world and 17th in Just relax for Most Cultured, scoring 27 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
