The Empire of New Kieraists is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Jade with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.637 billion New Kieraistians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jade City. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New Kieraistian economy, worth 703 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,349 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, tourists call New Kieraistian beach towns "the fine coastline", public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and 90% of active duty NKAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kieraists's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universum.

New Kieraists is ranked 298,207^th in the world and 4,836^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,153.92 Standard Monetary Units.
