The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN84 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Klew Gilkalt with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.842 billion Klingons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nunn K'mpogarro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.7%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN84ian economy, worth 490 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, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 172,664 Talons, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN84's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN84 is ranked 55,702nd in the world and 1,141st in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,544.98 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
