The Qian Dynasty of SKM is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by L'empereur with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 16.917 billion Komuvikers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temple of Robespierre. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Komuvik economy, worth a remarkable 6,235 trillion Eurasian Revolutionary Credits 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an amazing 368,583 Eurasian Revolutionary Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, there is a law against "filthy foreign food", and L'empereur's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman. Crime is totally unknown. SKM's national animal is the Wedge-tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of the Supreme Being.

SKM is ranked 4,055^th in the world and 1^st in The Alliance of Eros for Rudest Citizens, with 193.51 insults per minute.
