The Klingon Bird-of-Prey of KSN96 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by L'etharf Grurmderr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.025 billion Klingons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ey'ard Cuzhich. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.9%.
The frighteningly efficient KSN96ian economy, worth 825 trillion Talons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 205,081 Talons, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
The dartboard at the KSN96ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of L'etharf Grurmderr's face, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great KSN96ian Liberator", search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KSN96's national animal is the Jadashha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahless.
KSN96 is ranked 105,329th in the world and 24th in Greater Dienstad for Most Extreme, scoring 22.94 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
