The Free Republic of Knootoss is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Charlotte van Jonkervelde with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 49.896 billion Knootians 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 relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haag. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Knootian economy, worth an astonishing 26,092 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 522,942 Atlantic Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,668,593 per year while the poor average 124,592, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, polite commuters on the Haag Metro always let hurried workers off the train first, torture is illegal, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime is totally unknown. Knootoss's national animal is the herring gull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kommerdijker Christianity.

Knootoss is ranked 6,341st in the world and 6th in Western Atlantic for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 12,310.5 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
