The Empire of Koem Kab is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The Great Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.184 billion Koem Kabs 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federick City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Koem Kabian economy, worth an astonishing 23,514 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 1,110,016 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koem Kab's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koem Kabism.

Koem Kab is ranked 25th in the world and 1st in The Secret Order for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 2,225.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
