The Province of Kildarium is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.287 billion Kildariumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.4%.

The powerhouse Kildariumian economy, worth 223 trillion Provincial Talers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 97,628 Provincial Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Autocrats are persona non grata, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, Kildarium is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, and foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kildarium's national animal is the Local Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kildarium is ranked 233,145^th in the world and 18^th in Urcea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
