The State of Kuching State is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.658 billion Kuching Stateans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The powerhouse Kuching Statean economy, worth a remarkable 1,061 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 51,361 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,208 per year while the poor average 10,987, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, Kuching State has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Kuching State in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Kuching State's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kuching State's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
