The Federal of Empire K-VN is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Nykion with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.433 billion citizens 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arisia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Empire K-VNian economy, worth 236 trillion USDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 165,071 USDS, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", and the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Empire K-VN's mid-life crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire K-VN's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is End.

Empire K-VN is ranked 11,193^rd in the world and 64^th in Starlight for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 404.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
