The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN12 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vorlash Dag with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.667 billion Klingons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Datbag Arca. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.5%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN12ian economy, worth 437 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,224 Talons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 624,240 per year while the poor average 29,958, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN12's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN12 is ranked 283,877th in the world and 5,555th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 56 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
