Animalsilver gull

The Free Republic of Knootoss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Charlotte van Jonkervelde with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 44.901 billion Knootians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hartstad. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knootian economy, worth an astonishing 21,813 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 485,803 Atlantic Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All footpaths have tollbooths, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown. Knootoss's national animal is the silver gull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Knootoss is ranked 1,024th in the world and 2nd in Western Atlantic for Most Cultured, scoring 368 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
