The Commonwealth of United Kahndaq is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Teth-Adam with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.017 billion United Kahndaqians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiruta. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Kahndaqian economy, worth a remarkable 1,108 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,167 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, all footpaths have tollbooths, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. United Kahndaq's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sha'zamism.

United Kahndaq is ranked 20,066^th in the world and 819^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,745.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
