The Striving for Gold of New Kowloon Bay is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jasmine Shing with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.401 billion Kowloonis 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Kowloon Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowlooni economy, worth a remarkable 4,772 trillion Bay Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 507,640 Bay Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kowlooni watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", and Max Barry is this year's Miss New Kowloon Bay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kowloon Bay's national animal is the Dolphin of the Skies, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Kowloon Bay is ranked 304,157th in the world and 1,440th in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1,015.28 Standard Monetary Units.
