The Things Done for the Sake of Kaoro is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Alona Keobunta with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, museums and concert halls, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.874 billion Kaoroans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaoro City. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaoroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,914 trillion ngoens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Retail and Furniture Restoration. 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 176,028 ngoens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters regularly break the sound barrier -- and several bones, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and glamping Kaoroans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaoro's national animal is the muntjac, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Kaoro is ranked 329,795^th in the world and 4,664^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -19.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
