The Reformed Colonial Empire of Konid is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Ezekiel Johnston with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.292 billion Konidis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mechanus. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Konidi economy, worth 593 trillion Credit Notes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 180,284 Credit Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, Emperor Ezekiel Johnston's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, newly-privatized lumberjacks are clearcutting the forest to meet demand, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konid's national animal is the Konidi Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Kyarthism.

Konid is ranked 283,882^nd in the world and 29^th in Bresima for Most Primitive, scoring -403.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
