The Most Serene Republic of Kirion is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 371 million Krinoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirion City. The average income tax rate is 35.3%.

The very strong Kirionian economy, worth 35.0 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,206 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kirion's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kirion is ranked 59,905^th in the world and 1,056^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 157.8 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
