The Nomadic Peoples of Kriegiersien is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tim Krieg with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 24.439 billion Kriegiersiens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schoenwetter. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kriegiersienian economy, worth an astonishing 14,893 trillion shiny things 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 609,433 shiny things, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriegiersien's national animal is the scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kriegiersien is ranked 1,152^nd in the world and 39^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 166.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
