The Holy Green Kingdom of Kiirnodel is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sorceress Queen Wisteria Brightbough with an even hand, and notable for its fear of technology, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 18.115 billion Kiirnodelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tall Trees. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The powerhouse Kiirnodelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion Kiirs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,433 Kiirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Kiirnodel and have breakfast in Bigtopia, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiirnodel's national animal is the Ghost Gazelle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is High Wizardry.

Kiirnodel is ranked 22,670th in the world and 5th in Middle Earth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
