The Dictatorship of Kaiken is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14 million Kaikenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Kaikenian economy, worth 1.09 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 77,975 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,416 per year while the poor average 19,064, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, new regulations have put a halt to monkey business, and police officers outnumber pigeons in Kaiken City. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kaiken's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaiken is ranked 65,766^th in the world and 11^th in The Dominion of Order for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,298.39 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
