The Federal Republic of Kincones is a massive, genial nation, ruled by president with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.973 billion Kinconesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kincones city. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kinconesian economy, worth 435 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,573 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kincones's national animal is the stingray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kincones is ranked 6,881^st in the world and 3^rd in the Obsidian Highlands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,928.38 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
