The Kingdom of Komepenia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.072 billion Komepenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pupupipi. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Komepenian economy, worth 157 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 fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 147,276 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?", childish pranks are no laughing matter, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Komepenia's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Komepenia is ranked 263,472nd in the world and 5,504th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
