The United States of KingT is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Brisko with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 11.564 billion Kingdoms enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King City. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient KingTian economy, worth a remarkable 1,383 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,625 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KingT's national animal is the Bears, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KingT is ranked 4,877^th in the world and 248^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,551.24 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
