The Republic of Kingstrasse is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its fear of technology, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.782 billion Kingstrasseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Healthcare, with Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kingstrassean economy, worth 51.7 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in 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. Average income is 10,808 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shipping canals are a bit like unimaginative cheese shops -- filled with debris, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, Leader has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kingstrasse's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kingstrasse is ranked 188,675th in the world and 1st in The Federal Union for Safest, scoring 48.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
