The Deep Sleep of New Kowloon Bay is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Jasmine Shing with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.534 billion Kowloonis 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Kowloon Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowlooni economy, worth a remarkable 4,193 trillion Bay Dollars 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 491,440 Bay Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kowloon Bay's national animal is the Dolphin of the Skies, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Kowloon Bay is ranked 282,057^th in the world and 822^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 25.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
