The Wooded Land of Konar is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bluie with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.336 billion Konarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emswe. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Konarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,938 trillion chukas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,539 chukas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, 90% of active duty KAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, army rations are served on silver platters, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned tersikball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konar's national animal is the tersik, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Konar is ranked 284,935^th in the world and 3,944^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 302.69 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
