The Kingdom of Knitehorn is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Shark B with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.708 billion Knitehornians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kini. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Knitehornian economy, worth a remarkable 1,845 trillion Bitcoins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 211,983 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', citizens queue to get the reinstated bank notes and coins, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Knitehorn, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knitehorn's national animal is the Requiem Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Knitehorn is ranked 24,973rd in the world and 507th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,464.00540331372 days.
