The RoirraW regnaRmmoC deriteR of Kingsteck is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murphy with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 43.135 billion Kingsteckians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Louis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kingsteckian economy, worth a remarkable 7,277 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,720 gold coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, children often kick turkeys for amusement, the word "robot" is considered to be etymologically offensive, and citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsteck's national animal is the turkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Taoism.

Kingsteck is ranked 8,821st in the world and 125th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,603.71 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
