The Protectorate of Kievan Komondo is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 924 million Kievan Komondoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kievan Komondoan economy, worth 99.0 trillion Komondoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 107,121 Komondoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, and shanty towns of homeless immigrants are the ideal recruiting ground for terrorist organisations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kievan Komondo's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kievan Komondo is ranked 45,043^rd in the world and 1,906^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,986.95 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
