The Psychopath Empire of Kinqueven is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Gordon Garr with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.059 billion Kinquevenians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losika. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kinquevenian economy, worth 314 trillion covones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,806 covones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, Losika's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kinqueven's national animal is the king cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Obedience.

Kinqueven is ranked 234,845^th in the world and 5,406^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 7.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
