The Wetland State of Knassania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning swamp fox population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.779 billion Knassanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Industry and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The Knassanian economy, worth 102 trillion saars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,062 saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Knassania's national animal is the swamp fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Knassania is ranked 89,285^th in the world and 1^st in Wetlands for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 35.28 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
