The Free Republic of Knootoss is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Charlotte van Jonkervelde with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 45.059 billion Knootians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hartstad. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knootian economy, worth an astonishing 21,913 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 486,332 Atlantic Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Knootoss flights to avoid the pay lavatories, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and selfie stick use is a required Scout badge. Crime is totally unknown. Knootoss's national animal is the silver gull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Knootoss is ranked 6,860^th in the world and 2^nd in Western Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
