The Federation of Kuchyng is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 213 million Kuchyngians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kuchyngian economy, worth 14.8 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 69,688 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kuchyng's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kuchyng is ranked 247,736^th in the world and 5,322^nd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 2.68 flags saluted per person per day.
