The Endless Kakistocracy of Basementees is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Oðinnshrafn Khagan Numerian VI Drake with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.601 billion Thu'uls are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carthago Nova. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient K't Hu'ul economy, worth an astonishing 20,560 trillion Runcibles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 744,935 Runcibles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basementees's national animal is the Ursine Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nahuatl.

Basementees is ranked 160^th in the world and 1^st in Pax Britannia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 40,268.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
