The Emirate of Kond is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 2.13 billion Kondians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kondian economy, worth 53.6 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,142 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kond's national animal is the turtle.

Kond is ranked 69,541^st in the world and 336^th in Pacifism for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,487.56 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
