The Benevolent Queendom of Klises is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Your Lord and Master Klises with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 32.037 billion Klisesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nadir Hollow Citadel. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The enormous but sluggish Klisesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,480 trillion Human Fleshes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,211 Human Fleshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, Klises has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klises's national animal is the Undead Purple Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Klises is ranked 1,964th in the world and 102nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 145.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
