The Celestial Principalities of Kylantha is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prince Tenja Miryou with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 20.102 billion Kylanthans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myhashara Bata. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kylanthan economy, worth a remarkable 1,051 trillion Gichoes 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, 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 52,293 Gichoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and Prince Tenja Miryou's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kylantha's national animal is the Souzoudori, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kylantha is ranked 52,457^th in the world and 9^th in The Milky Way Galaxy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
