The Republic of Kazoo Basin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by BKP with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.376 billion Kazoo Basinians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PALLET TOWN. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kazoo Basinian economy, worth 184 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 134,018 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

There's more vermin than ever on the metro, BKP is famed for giving great back rubs, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazoo Basin's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is HINDUISM.

Kazoo Basin is ranked 234,419^th in the world and 9,330^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 4.81 Obesity Rate.
