The Principality of Kemmersberg is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 373 million Kemmersbergians 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kemmersbergian economy, worth 23.1 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,833 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, and the navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kemmersberg's national animal is the gronk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kemmersberg is ranked 233,125^th in the world and 187^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Nicest Citizens, with 4.49 average smiles per day.
