The Empire of The Kneebar is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Master Gracie with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 41.4 billion Kneebarians 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 government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tap. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.
The thriving Kneebarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,237 trillion patellas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 78,203 patellas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Kneebar's national animal is the sting ray, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Catholicism.
The Kneebar is ranked 274,652nd in the world and 3rd in Nationstates Hospital for Most Beautiful Environments, with 9.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
