The Most Serene Republic of Kymkyia is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 340 million Kymkyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.9%.

The strong Kymkyian economy, worth 22.0 trillion Kurks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 64,706 Kurks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, criminals are really screwed, and the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kymkyia's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kymkyia is ranked 294,999^th in the world and 551^st in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
