The Republic of Kynan184 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.284 billion Kynan184ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kynan184ian economy, worth 879 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 205,281 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 591,104 per year while the poor average 56,625, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, Kynan184ian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kynan184's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kynan184 is ranked 275,329th in the world and 118th in Kynanland for Safest, scoring 6.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
