The Stupidly Overpowered Reality of Kardashev III Civilization is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.496 billion transhumans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.2%.

The large but inefficient transhuman economy, worth 633 trillion terawatts 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 50,731 terawatts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Homophobia is off the menu, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kardashev III Civilization's national animal is the biot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kardashev III Civilization is ranked 77,247^th in the world and 24^th in The Galactics Union for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,130.67 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
