The Land of KipIsland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kip with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 7.159 billion KipIslandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kip City. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient KipIslandian economy, worth 875 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,274 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, a flying elephant and Kip share the same nickname, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and the atmosphere in KipIslandian boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KipIsland's national animal is the Hyujm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Seteth.

KipIsland is ranked 294,559th in the world and 2nd in The ME Sector for Most Primitive, scoring -257.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
