The Commonwealth of United Kahndaq is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Teth-Adam with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.781 billion United Kahndaqians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiruta. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Kahndaqian economy, worth 998 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 84,731 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, all footpaths have tollbooths, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. United Kahndaq's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sha'zamism.

United Kahndaq is ranked 286,817^th in the world and 6,899^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -10.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
