The Republic of Kilang is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.423 billion Kilangians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kilangian economy, worth 201 trillion Kina a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,771 Kina, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 585,465 per year while the poor average 22,570, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Tourists aren't the only ones that talk about coming back from a trip, people's charity begins and ends at home, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and artists attempt to convince the Hardship Fund that their unmade bed is a masterpiece. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kilang's national animal is the Kasuari, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kilang is ranked 266,898^th in the world and 990^th in Concord for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 26.46 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
