The Republic of K 4 is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, restrictive gun laws, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 208 million K 4ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The all-consuming K 4ian economy, worth 15.0 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,893 candy cane gold bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,160 per year while the poor average 5,746, a ratio of 73.3 to 1.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, office thieves tell their employers kleptomania is a pregnancy symptom, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. K 4's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

K 4 is ranked 235,497^th in the world and 7^th in Freyaria for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
