The Empire of Kylan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Nacldir with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.259 billion Kylanians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amelia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kylanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion Thaurens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 256,970 Thaurens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,315,664 per year while the poor average 27,557, a ratio of 47.7 to 1.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, finders keepers is the law of the land, rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, and the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kylan's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kylan is ranked 5,489^th in the world and 1^st in Comicaria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 249.75 kickbacks per hour.
