The Empire of Koem Kab is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Great Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.159 billion Koem Kabs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federick City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Koem Kabian economy, worth an astonishing 23,333 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 1,102,789 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koem Kab's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koem Kabism.

Koem Kab is ranked 22,951st in the world and 1st in The Secret Order for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,750.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
