The Republic of Kiriam is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 94 million Kiriamians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Kiriamian economy, worth 2.92 trillion baht a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,066 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiriam's national animal is the dolphin.
Kiriam is ranked 302,802nd in the world and 1,138th in Concord for Highest Drug Use, scoring 16.21 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
