The Republic of Kindlepas is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Willsforth with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.037 billion Kindlepasians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sheerwill. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kindlepasian economy, worth 674 trillion Passionate Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,823 Passionate Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. Crime is almost non-existent. Kindlepas's national animal is the Blue Jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kindlepas is ranked 32,332^nd in the world and 168^th in the West Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 26,655.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
