The 1st Republic of Kishniev is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 646 million Kishnievians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wien. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kishnievian economy, worth 50.0 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,414 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, prank shows are so hot right now, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime is totally unknown. Kishniev's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kishniev is ranked 183,489^th in the world and 798^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.53 kickbacks per hour.
