The Protectorate of Kintud is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 73 million Kintudians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kintudian economy, worth 2.63 trillion Surindas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 36,055 Surindas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kintud's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kintud is ranked 274,916^th in the world and 141^st in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,111.4 Standard Monetary Units.
