The MACEDONIAN EMPIRE of Kirkov is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 44.522 billion Kirkovians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The strong Kirkovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,777 trillion denars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 39,924 denars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Kirkov's national animal is the lion.

Kirkov is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Bangladesh for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
