The KB of KB is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.289 billion KBians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient KBian economy, worth a remarkable 2,945 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,195 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, KB is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KB's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

KB is ranked 11,447th in the world and 363rd in Osiris for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,725.83 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
