The Republic of New Kilombo is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.835 billion New Kilomboans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.
The all-consuming New Kilomboan economy, worth 281 trillion kilos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,353 kilos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 411,137 per year while the poor average 15,762, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.
Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, and Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Kilombo's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
New Kilombo is ranked 121,266th in the world and 5,867th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,598.21 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
