The RoirraW regnaRmmoC deriteR of Kingsteck is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murphy with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.655 billion Kingsteckians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Louis. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kingsteckian economy, worth a remarkable 6,703 trillion gold coins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,939 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fattest folk in Kingsteck look to be the happiest ones, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, and government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsteck's national animal is the turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taoism.

Kingsteck is ranked 16,491st in the world and 258th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 311.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
