The Dominion of IKINGCAKE is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by iKINGCAKE with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.713 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,599 trillion Cakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,737 Cakes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,019 per year while the poor average 23,743, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 92,764th in the world and 3rd in Yarnia for Most Patriotic, with 15.85 flags saluted per person per day.
