The Dictatorship of Khong is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 88 million Khongians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.3%.

The very strong Khongian economy, worth 5.46 trillion Khongen Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 62,087 Khongen Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, decongestants have replaced Khongen Dollars in street transactions, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khong's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Khong is ranked 284,535^th in the world and 3,661^st in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 19.75 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
