“Be excellent to each other.”

The Principality of Killer Zoids is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arabarath Gohr with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.414 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the welfare administration’s new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Killer Zoids's national animal is the Liger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Cred.

Killer Zoids is ranked 8th in the region and 4,200th in the world for Smartest Citizens.
