The Empire of Kaishika is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 779 million Kaishikanese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iwaki. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The powerhouse Kaishikan economy, worth 84.8 trillion Kaishika credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,870 Kaishika credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 498,012 per year while the poor average 14,488, a ratio of 34.4 to 1.

The controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kaishika's national animal is the Sika deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kaishika is ranked 262,820^th in the world and 12^th in New Lacia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 67.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
