The Kingdom of Kurkentize is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kurker with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The cynical population of 4.7 billion Kurkentizeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gitol. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kurkentizean economy, worth 507 trillion KGS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,044 KGS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurkentize's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Kurkentize is ranked 47,337th in the world and 193rd in Europe for Most Conservative, scoring 76.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
