The Colony of Kynutt is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Trey Sanderson with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 25.715 billion Kynuttians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kynutt City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kynuttian economy, worth a remarkable 2,562 trillion Nutts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing and Tourism. 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 99,649 Nutts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and businesses are scrambling to adapt to the government's mandate that 'time and measurement no longer exist'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kynutt's national animal is the Hammerhead Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kynutt is ranked 214,167^th in the world and 7,593^rd in Balder for Most Armed, with 0.24 weapons per person.
