The Military Service of Knockbacked is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Slim Shady with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 2.548 billion Pixelieans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slim City. The average income tax rate is 40.7%.

The powerhouse Pixelian economy, worth 226 trillion Gedens a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,817 Gedens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", and Slim Shady's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knockbacked's national animal is the Gunner Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Totally-not-shady-religion-ian.

Knockbacked is ranked 34,223^rd in the world and 3^rd in True Duck people for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 233.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
