The Republic of Klop4 is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 150 million Klop4ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Klop4ian economy, worth 5.58 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,227 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klop4's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Klop4 is ranked 272,398th in the world and 5th in Union of Exotic Artwork Collectors for Highest Average Incomes, with 37,227.81 Standard Monetary Units.
