The Universal Thing of New Kowloon Bay is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Josephine 'Windham with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation.

Average income is an amazing 228,147 Bay Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

New Kowloon Bay's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Beachgoing.
