The Southern states of Kinider is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jameson Wolf with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.349 billion Kiniderians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Decuria. The average income tax rate is 76.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kiniderian economy, worth 463 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,549 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Kiniderian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kinider's national animal is the Cockatoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kinider is ranked 10,107^th in the world and 17^th in Federation Of Sovereign States for Safest, scoring 119.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
