The Commonwealth of Kilojoules is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 348 million Kilojoules are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kilojoulean Paradise. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Kilojoulesian economy, worth 9.18 trillion Kilojoules a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,386 Kilojoules, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kilojoules's national animal is the Food, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kilojoules is ranked 111,254^th in the world and 67^th in Tinga for Most Patriotic, with 15.22 flags saluted per person per day.
