The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN25 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Awav Ormdashta with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.413 billion Klingons are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enonn Virpann. The average income tax rate is 46.6%.

The frighteningly efficient KSN25ian economy, worth 862 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,455 Talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

A tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, lending money has become a major liability, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN25's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.

KSN25 is ranked 253,125th in the world and 881st in the Outback for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
