The Dictatorship of Kaiken is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16 million Kaikenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The thriving Kaikenian economy, worth 1.30 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Average income is 81,480 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,829 per year while the poor average 17,785, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, drug dealers have found themselves priced out by the government, diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, and calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kaiken's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaiken is ranked 232,981^st in the world and 204^th in The Dominion of Order for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.37 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
