The Allied States of Kipple is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 944 million Kippleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kipplean economy, worth 32.2 trillion Walts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,130 Walts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kipple's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kipple is ranked 116,792^nd in the world and 121^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,516.91 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
