The Dominion of Kangaroo Courtroom is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.808 billion Kangaroo Courtroomians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kangaroo Courtroomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion bribes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,392 bribes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a silent spring in Kangaroo Courtroom, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kangaroo Courtroom's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kangaroo Courtroom is ranked 262,790^th in the world and 1^st in Kangaroo Court for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
