The Borderlands of Kianland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The last true Dhibbler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.834 billion smartasses are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smartass DC. The average income tax rate is 15.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient smartass economy, worth 305 trillion Shenanigans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 166,576 Shenanigans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, hospitals are run down while the rich pay for private treatment, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous smartass bee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kianland's national animal is the Dih, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dhivism.

Kianland is ranked 9,712^th in the world and 10^th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,835.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
