The Republic of Kynan102 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.298 billion Kynan102ians 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 Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kynan102ian economy, worth 906 trillion dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 210,926 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kynan102's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kynan102 is ranked 276,429th in the world and 163rd in Kynanland for Safest, scoring 6.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
