The Matriarchy of Kaffers is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 165 million Kaffers 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kaffersian economy, worth 9.10 trillion bliksems a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 55,161 bliksems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaffers's national animal is the Kappadien, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kaffers is ranked 79,646^th in the world and 315^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 17.71 flags saluted per person per day.
