The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN60 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Agana Condluk with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.845 billion Klingons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estull Zammiv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN60ian economy, worth 536 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,435 Talons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 614,943 per year while the poor average 43,437, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN60's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN60 is ranked 3,931st in the world and 74th in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 13.47 weapons per person.
