The Deep Sleep of New Kowloon Bay is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jasmine Shing with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.46 billion Kowloonis 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Kowloon Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowlooni economy, worth a remarkable 4,243 trillion Bay Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 a breathtaking 501,597 Bay Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Kowlooni scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, and funny-looking kids are stood at the front of the classroom for everybody to point and laugh at. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kowloon Bay's national animal is the Dolphin of the Skies, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.
