The Federation of Kishoth is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12 million Kishothians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The Kishothian economy, worth 655 billion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,620 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kishoth's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kishoth is ranked 159,768^th in the world and 39^th in Crimsons puppets for Smartest Citizens, with 28.66 quips per hour.
