The Federal Republic of Khamento is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Landon Rozanto with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 7.256 billion Khamens 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormston. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Khamen economy, worth 715 trillion Chanoys 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, 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 98,493 Chanoys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khamento's national animal is the Oshbene, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Khamen Christianity.

Khamento is ranked 276,690^th in the world and 1^st in Private Lands and Acts for Least Corrupt Governments, with 73.95 percentage of bribes refused.
