The Democratic Republic of Kirungabi is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by President Innocent Uburiganya with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.725 billion Kirungans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imisozi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kirungan economy, worth a remarkable 1,416 trillion mikopoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,063 mikopoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 582,531 per year while the poor average 18,761, a ratio of 31.0 to 1.

Punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and entire provinces are populated solely by nuclear missile technicians and military police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kirungabi's national animal is the okapi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kirungabi is ranked 16,263rd in the world and 5th in Rushmore for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 35,276.96 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
