The Reach of Kilometer is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Metric Maestro with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.419 billion Kilometeri 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metre. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The powerhouse Kilometerian economy, worth 291 trillion millimetres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,257 millimetres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and a video of The Metric Maestro wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kilometer's national animal is the meter stick, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mass of the Meter.

Kilometer is ranked 150,036^th in the world and 9^th in big for Most Conservative, scoring 58.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
