The Black Kingdom of The Kerbal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King George IX with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 23.398 billion Kerbalians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerbalia. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kerbalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,747 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 160,156 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing The Kerbal are beset by rebels, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, fine dining is just too fine for most of the populace, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kerbal's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kerbalism.

The Kerbal is ranked 45,553^rd in the world and 1^st in Kerbal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
