The British Protectorate of Kubekistan is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.029 billion Kubekistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinstabad. The average income tax rate is 53.5%.

The powerhouse Kubekistanian economy, worth 86.7 trillion Kubekistan dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,242 Kubekistan dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kubekistan's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kubekistan is ranked 247,334^th in the world and 13,698^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 1.03 billion capita.
