The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN20 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Atsiv K'tonzash with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.994 billion Klingons 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of H'unost Mvek'Massa. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient KSN20ian economy, worth 760 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,420 Talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

No one gossips with Atsiv K'tonzash during diplomatic summits, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, an exhibition on Jadashha memes is currently starring at the National Art Gallery, and tax assessment offices double as polling stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN20's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN20 is ranked 104,193rd in the world and 4,617th in Balder for Most Average, scoring 40.88 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
