Kansas, the land of a thousand lakes, is a richly forested paradise for bird watchers, lion tamers, and escapologists alike. Supported by a virulent software industry, the burgeoning economy is second only to that of Ontario amongst the great plains states, and the Great Kansas Kettle Scam remains a steady source of revenue.

Principal exports are: pre-watched birds, tamed lions, escaped lions, string, sealing wax, reprocessed beaks, slide viewers, antique pencils, bus stop signs, puppets, depleted pork, shift keys, cancelled melons, tadpoles, and vinegar.

One of the 50 states of North America.
