The Socialist Republic of Kilobugya is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Comrade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.478 billion Kilobugyans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fraternia. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Kilobugyan economy, worth an astonishing 13,349 trillion Columbuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 356,200 Columbuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The newest shade developed by Kilobugya's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', every week is blindness awareness week, Kilobugyans seem to be catching more chills, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is totally unknown. Kilobugya's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Kilobugya is ranked 25,299th in the world and 2nd in Democratic Communist States for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 97.75 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
