The Empire of Kublam is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 12.926 billion Kublamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhazk. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kublamian economy, worth a remarkable 3,753 trillion Official Gold Ingots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 290,408 Official Gold Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Late night talk show hosts are having a field day over Leader's questionably sane new coalition partners, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks, and military pistols are more secure than the national treasury. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kublam's national animal is the Sacred Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kublam is ranked 3,281st in the world and 71st in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 208 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
