The Colony of Kumiwait is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by His Highness and Masterdom Draneir with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.862 billion Kumiwaitians 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Golden Palace. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.4%.

The all-consuming Kumiwaitian economy, worth a remarkable 5,091 trillion Quats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,722 Quats, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,087,553 per year while the poor average 14,060, a ratio of 77.3 to 1.

Pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and pedants defending His Highness and Masterdom Draneir observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kumiwait's national animal is the Mudokon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is leader worship.

Kumiwait is ranked 305,467th in the world and 4th in Undersea Isles for Most Developed, scoring 48.88 on the Human Development Index.
