The Kingdom of Komepenia is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.027 billion Komepenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pupupipi. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Komepenian economy, worth 148 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,889 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Komepenia's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Komepenia is ranked 31,364th in the world and 1,154th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
