The Soviet Union of Konig Empire is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Karl Ernst Gerat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.721 billion Konigans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maraïla. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Konigan economy, worth 625 trillion Konig Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 168,136 Konig Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edutainment video games are taking Konig Empire's students to the next level, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konig Empire's national animal is the drunk russian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Konig Empire is ranked 10,318th in the world and 6th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,561.28 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
