The Colony of Kynutt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Trey Sanderson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 25.82 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 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kynuttian economy, worth a remarkable 2,582 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 an impressive 100,027 Nutts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are scrambling to adapt to the government's mandate that 'time and measurement no longer exist', warfare increasingly resembles a video game, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. 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 7,358th in the world and 237th in Balder for Largest Populations, with 25.8 billion capita.
