The Empire of Kirktuffia is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 550 million Kirktuffians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kirktuffian economy, worth 45.1 trillion dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. 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 81,973 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, the military has gone fission for more funding, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, and a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kirktuffia's national animal is the lion.

Kirktuffia is ranked 48,968^th in the world and 387^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Poor Incomes, with 56,234.94 Standard Monetary Units.
