The Republic of Kaedan is a small, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 23 million Kaedanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Kaedanian economy, worth 554 billion marks a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,118 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaedan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kaedan is ranked 147,076^th in the world and 414^th in Horizon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,614.6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
