The Republic of Knapp Ave is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 220 million Knapp Aveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Knapp Avean economy, worth 16.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,349 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Many in Knapp Ave are born in the purple, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Knapp Ave's national animal is the coyote.

Knapp Ave is ranked 17,358^th in the world and 1^st in Tonopah for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,405.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
