The Empire of Ketol Protector 4 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.355 billion Ketol Protector 4ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Ketol Protector 4ian economy, worth 432 trillion Nitrogenous Substanceses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,112 Nitrogenous Substanceses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,097 per year while the poor average 13,893, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ketol Protector 4's national animal is the Indol, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
