The Free Land of Ka is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 9.042 billion Kans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kan economy, worth 690 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,384 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, and recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ka's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ka is ranked 161,295^th in the world and 2^nd in Alcris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,046.31 Standard Monetary Units.
