The People's Republic of Konisaria is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 12 million Konisarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Konisarian economy, worth 639 billion Rens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,261 Rens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, and the government has declared "all your rigs are belong to us". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konisaria's national animal is the Mountain Hawk Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Konisaria is ranked 156,577^th in the world and 1,584^th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 53,261.78 Standard Monetary Units.
