The Republic of KSN66 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tevekina with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.86 billion KSN66ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balgoztaq. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient KSN66ian economy, worth 480 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,012 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Tevekina, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and ill and injured visitors in KSN66 have to walk it off until they return home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN66's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN66 is ranked 281,569th in the world and 28th in United Empire of Islam for Most Cultured, scoring 50 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
