The Basket Case of Kerkermeister is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Migul with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.549 billion Kerkeris are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerker City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The large but underdeveloped Kerkerian economy, worth 520 trillion Cigaretteses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Average income is 35,769 Cigaretteses, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

They who do not work shall not eat, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, censors protect the public from lewd images of Bigtopians in duffel coats, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerkermeister's national animal is the Chained Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Teachings of the Chained Rat.

Kerkermeister is ranked 52,007th in the world and 347th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 855.91770221232 days.
