The Dictatorship of Khong is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 23 million Khongians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The strong Khongian economy, worth 1.34 trillion Khongen Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 58,419 Khongen Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Khongian mussels the biggest in the South Pacific, national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, the government has an "easy come, easy go" policy on youth crime, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khong's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Khong is ranked 209,850^th in the world and 2,496^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 636.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
