The Devil's Unholy Spawn of KingNermal is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Nermal with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.562 billion KingNermalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muncie. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant KingNermalian economy, worth 48.3 trillion Nermals 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. 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 13,572 Nermals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, and birth announcements often also serve as death announcements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KingNermal's national animal is the Nermal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KingNermal is ranked 322,728^th in the world and 1,137^th in Carcassonne for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -173.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
