The Nomadic Peoples of Kaczynskia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aragorn with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 9.708 billion Kaczynskians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zerzan. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaczynskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,392 trillion Teds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 143,474 Teds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, organ donation is compulsory, and the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kaczynskia's national animal is the Bonobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Whatever.

Kaczynskia is ranked 14,483rd in the world and 352nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Poor Incomes, with 106,515.69 Standard Monetary Units.
