The Bamboo Palace of Kuan Yin is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by perceiving the cries of the world with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.776 billion sentient and non-sentient beings love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lotus Sutra. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The sentient and non-sentient being economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion Lotuses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 78,772 Lotuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Self-driving cars obey the road rules even during emergencies, the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown. Kuan Yin's national animal is the White Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is East Asian Buddhism.

Kuan Yin is ranked 12,127th in the world and 1st in Taiwan for Most Stationary, with 2,061.31481270212 days.
