The Republic of Killiani is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.455 billion Killianians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pragil. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Killianian economy, worth 174 trillion Wilms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,200 Wilms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Killiani's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Killiani is ranked 26,674^th in the world and 58^th in The League for Most Developed, scoring 83.65 on the Human Development Index.
