The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN97 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by L'paybas Keth with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.068 billion Klingons 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Droghiq Krerv. The average income tax rate is 76.9%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN97ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,139 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,231 Talons, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN97's national animal is the Jadashha, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN97 is ranked 2,590^th in the world and 391^st in Mikes Hope for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 80,827.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
