The Grand Republic of Killadonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Maria Calvet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.633 billion Killadonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Killadonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,158 trillion Killmarks a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,401 Killmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Killadonia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Killadonia's radio stations, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Killadonia's national animal is the Welsh Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Killadonia is ranked 16,797^th in the world and 7^th in Union of Free Nations for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 99.72 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
