The Incorporated States of Kachikan is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.759 billion Kachikanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kachikanian economy, worth 170 trillion Kachis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,159 Kachis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 638,504 per year while the poor average 5,768, a ratio of 110 to 1.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", merchant ships always travel line astern in Kachikanian waters, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kachikan's national animal is the Koi fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kachikan is ranked 247,038^th in the world and 18^th in Vultune for Safest, scoring 31.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
