The Kingdom of Klo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Savannah I with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 3.459 billion Kloans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanakyō. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kloan economy, worth 335 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,079 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, and blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klo's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Klo is ranked 93,030th in the world and 832nd in Ambition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,015.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
