The Rogue Nation of Kintsugii is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 401 million Kintsugiians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.6%.

The very strong Kintsugiian economy, worth 29.3 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,985 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, and women who leak pus from infected wounds are told to suck it up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kintsugii's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kintsugii is ranked 319,185^th in the world and 119^th in Sancturia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -111.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
