The Republic of Kafu is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.952 billion Kafuans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The powerhouse Kafuan economy, worth 752 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,059 yen, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, museums offer moralization or your money back, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kafu's national animal is the witch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kafu is ranked 54,907^th in the world and 238^th in Remembrance for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,951.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
