The Community of Kith and Kin is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Old King Cole with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.438 billion Kith and Kinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Environment, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Affability. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kith and Kinian economy, worth 626 trillion Farthings a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 97,342 Farthings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,638 per year while the poor average 22,546, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, Affability spends billions upgrading public transport, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kith and Kin's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kith and Kin is ranked 240,957^th in the world and 4^th in Western Connection for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
