The Dominion of IKINGCAKE is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by iKINGCAKE with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 19.753 billion Cakians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cakian economy, worth a remarkable 2,265 trillion Cakes 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 114,698 Cakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fair play is a sportsbook refusing to pay what it owes, witches' brews set off Geiger counters, greased palms have made iKINGCAKE's office smell like gravy, and recent converts to Frisbeetarianism are just doing it for the love of the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IKINGCAKE's national animal is the Habberdasher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

IKINGCAKE is ranked 49,418th in the world and 2nd in Yarnia for Highest Average Incomes, with 114,698.84 Standard Monetary Units.
