The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN22 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Stirgum Deza with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.853 billion Klingons are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of H'jonkahl K'toghu. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient KSN22ian economy, worth 492 trillion Talons 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 172,720 Talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN22's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN22 is ranked 274,532^nd in the world and 5,086^th in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.16 weapons per person.
