The Duchy of Kidderminster is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by The Duke of Kidderminster with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.137 billion Kidderminsterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindenwood. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kidderminsterian economy, worth an astonishing 13,013 trillion Liebsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 615,693 Liebsmarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBK Governor goes house hunting, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kidderminster's national animal is the sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Kidderminster is ranked 1,140^th in the world and 1^st in Der Leibwache for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 14,746.11 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
