State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,791 Flames, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Kaorukeans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, BlackoutFire City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and only the brainiest citizens become academics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackoutFire's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
