The Military Service of Knockbacked is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Slim Shady with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 2.496 billion Pixelieans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slim City. The average income tax rate is 36.6%.

The thriving Pixelian economy, worth 213 trillion Gedens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,710 Gedens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knockbacked's national animal is the Gunner Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Totally-not-shady-religion-ian.

Knockbacked is ranked 80,476^th in the world and 10^th in True Duck people for Highest Poor Incomes, with 37,667 Standard Monetary Units.
