The Republic of Kynan168 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.214 billion Kynan168ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 30.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Kynan168ian economy, worth 814 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,294 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
No cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu', burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kynan168's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kynan168 is ranked 280,131st in the world and 90th in Kynanland for Most Primitive, scoring -338.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
