The KB of KB is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.19 billion KBians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient KBian economy, worth a remarkable 2,931 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,195 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, KB is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KB's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

KB is ranked 313,403rd in the world and 1st in Weyard for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
