The Theocracy of K 1 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 554 million K 1ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The all-consuming K 1ian economy, worth 45.1 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 81,491 candy cane gold bars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,852 per year while the poor average 9,415, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, the government has pulled the plug on the auto industry, the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. K 1's national animal is the bat, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

K 1 is ranked 162,140^th in the world and 7^th in Freyaria for Smartest Citizens, with 28.32 quips per hour.
