The Rogue Nation of The kill is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 112 million killiers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped killer economy, worth 4.56 trillion Green Bloods a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,750 Green Bloods, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The kill's national animal is the Terror bird.

The kill is ranked 107,808^th in the world and 2^nd in Beepers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
