The Republic of K 4 is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 45 million K 4ians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry, Defense, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The powerhouse K 4ian economy, worth 3.21 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 71,418 candy cane gold bars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 347,485 per year while the poor average 8,468, a ratio of 41.0 to 1.

The dictionary is a common first book for children, it turns out that the government can have your guns by prying them out of your warm living hands, parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. K 4's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

K 4 is ranked 166,422^nd in the world and 3^rd in Freyaria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,111.15 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
