The United Empire of Ajikir is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Dravos with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.453 billion Ajikirians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apex City. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ajikirian economy, worth 250 trillion Dindins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,407 Dindins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, and government winter plans get a frosty reception. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ajikir's national animal is the great eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Dovepazism.

Ajikir is ranked 46,685^th in the world and 3^rd in Next Horizon for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 48.45 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
