The Parallax of New Kowloon Bay is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The New Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.885 billion Kowloonis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Metropolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowlooni economy, worth a remarkable 8,519 trillion Qians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 716,805 Qians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, and mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kowloon Bay's national animal is the Windhover, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Kowloon Bay is ranked 51,366^th in the world and 215^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 11.9 billion capita.
