The Grand Duchy of Kubach is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the ErzHerzog with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.797 billion Kubachians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sportlerheim. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kubachian economy, worth a remarkable 2,187 trillion Kristalls a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 223,307 Kristalls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Kubachian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kubach's national animal is the Cow Kuh superior to commen cows, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Purpur Kristallismus.
Kubach is ranked 66,502nd in the world and 2,049th in Osiris for Nudest, with 194.25 cheeks per square mile.
