The Solarian Knight of Sir Knottt is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Neo Nibu with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 31.028 billion Sir Knotttians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sir Knottt City. The average income tax rate is 33.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sir Knotttian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion Trav Kharian Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,265 Trav Kharian Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the government is spending billions of Trav Kharian Gold Coins on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sir Knottt's national animal is the Blue Jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sir Knottt is ranked 240,434^th in the world and 2^nd in Solarius for Most Beautiful Environments, with 325.34 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
