The Statistical Empire of K16 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mammalmind with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, vat-grown people, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.602 billion Kisasans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Administration is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fieldslands. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient K16ian economy, worth 703 trillion kiolas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 195,372 kiolas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,693,058 per year while the poor average 3,628, a ratio of 466 to 1.

Books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. K16's national animal is the mammal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic-Mammalism.

K16 is ranked 329,357^th in the world and 62^nd in Trica for Nicest Citizens, with 0.18 average smiles per day.
