The The Retired RMB Dreamers of Kingsteck is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 15.529 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingsteck City. The average income tax rate is 1%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and Kingsteck has designated Kingsteck City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsteck's national animal is the turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Taoism, and its currency is the gold coin.

Kingsteck is ranked 3,916th in the West Pacific and 90,343rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
