The Total Embarrassment of The Knicks is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by James Dolan with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.401 billion Knicksians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madison Square Garden. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knicksian economy, worth a remarkable 1,482 trillion Knicks 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 130,061 Knicks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Programmers often reinvent the wheel, the government is hungry to spread communism beyond the nation's borders, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Knicks's national animal is the Dumpster Fire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Losing.

The Knicks is ranked 16,210th in the world and 5th in Testregionia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
