The Dictatorship of Kaiken is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16 million Kaikenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Kaikenian economy, worth 1.25 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 77,989 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,459 per year while the poor average 19,067, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, new regulations have put a halt to monkey business, police officers outnumber pigeons in Kaiken City, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kaiken's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaiken is ranked 232,698^th in the world and 204^th in The Dominion of Order for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.37 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
