The Rogue Nation of Artificial Kazintir is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.094 billion Artificial Kazintirians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HQ ASS. The average income tax rate is 31.1%.

The powerhouse Artificial Kazintirian economy, worth 178 trillion blue zints a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,401 blue zints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, Artificial Kazintirians have replaced bears in a popular idiom, government policy is dictated by a major religion, and people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed. Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Artificial Kazintir's national animal is the manticore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Artificial Kazintir is ranked 237,929^th in the world and 3,568^th in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
