The Green Valleys of Kirschberg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by A big tabby cat with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.739 billion Kirschbergers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirschburg. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kirschbergian economy, worth a remarkable 5,781 trillion Falcons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,237 Falcons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, worship days have replaced sick days, the most recent election was a close race between A big tabby cat and A big tabby cat, and children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn. Crime is totally unknown. Kirschberg's national animal is the Red Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kirschberg is ranked 4,188^th in the world and 6^th in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 605.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
