The Psychopath Empire of Kinqueven is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Gordon Garr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.984 billion Kinquevenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losika. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kinquevenian economy, worth 309 trillion covones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,763 covones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, Losika's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kinqueven's national animal is the king cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Obedience.

Kinqueven is ranked 190,257^th in the world and 4,104^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -1.41 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
