The Oppressed Peoples of Kukumi is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.806 billion Kukumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kukumian economy, worth 284 trillion Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 101,106 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

What's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kukumi's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kukumi is ranked 229,646^th in the world and 16^th in Mud Puddle 450 for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
