The Free Republic of Knootoss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Charlotte van Jonkervelde with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 44.281 billion Knootians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hartstad. The average income tax rate is 8.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knootian economy, worth an astonishing 21,480 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 485,100 Atlantic Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime is totally unknown. Knootoss's national animal is the silver gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Knootoss is ranked 6,739th in the world and 3rd in Western Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
