The Democratic Despotic Republic of Konolas is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by PM Ulsais Redband with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.694 billion Konolasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lensburg. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Konolasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,396 trillion Juras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 181,490 Juras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The only issue that PM Ulsais Redband has is that there aren't enough issues (Konolas has found 1 easter egg), the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konolas's national animal is the East Konolasian Mountain Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Konolas is ranked 4,456th in the world and 226th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 119.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
