The Empire of Kublam is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 13.135 billion Kublamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhazk. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kublamian economy, worth a remarkable 3,880 trillion Official Gold Ingots 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 295,440 Official Gold Ingots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Kublam after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and large sections of Kublam have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kublam's national animal is the Sacred Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kublam is ranked 146,671st in the world and 2,713th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 796.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
