The State of Kampong Ayer is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The cynical population of 17.533 billion Kampong Ayerians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Kampong Ayerian economy, worth 77.7 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 4,432 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The study of medicine is popular throughout Kampong Ayer, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, and Kampong Ayer has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kampong Ayer's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kampong Ayer is ranked 132,055^th in the world and 6^th in Utah for Most Patriotic, with 12 flags saluted per person per day.
