The Big German Cheese Sausage of Kickelsporzl is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Horst Schimanski with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.58 billion Kickelsporzlians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonbon-Bonn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kickelsporzlian economy, worth 429 trillion Deutschmarks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 119,925 Deutschmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,201 per year while the poor average 26,252, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, Kickelsporzlian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', and customers who are not the epitome of politeness always find themselves at the back of the queue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kickelsporzl's national animal is the Schweinhund, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kickelsporzl is ranked 46,035th in the world and 2nd in Peinda speindea for Most Developed, scoring 78.25 on the Human Development Index.
