The Republic of Kindman is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kindman with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.766 billion Kindmanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nicecompassionville. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kindmanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,557 trillion Kinds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 200,268 Kinds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindman's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, jaywalking will put an end to a family tree, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", and the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kindman's national animal is the Man, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kindness.

Kindman is ranked 51,114th in the world and 3,046th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
