The KB of KB is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.721 billion KBians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient KBian economy, worth a remarkable 2,849 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,493 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

KBians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, pet owners are granted clemency from being ritually sacrificed, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, and former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KB's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

KB is ranked 102,202^nd in the world and 1^st in Weyard for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 5.13 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
