The Republic of Kynan198 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.293 billion Kynan198ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 84.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kynan198ian economy, worth 349 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,332 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and Kynan198 Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kynan198's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kynan198 is ranked 236,293^rd in the world and 177^th in Kynanland for Nudest, with 82.75 cheeks per square mile.
