The Empire of The island of Kiria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Lord Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.063 billion Kirians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiria. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kirian economy, worth a remarkable 6,478 trillion Golden Doubloons a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 248,571 Golden Doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The island of Kiria's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperialism.

The island of Kiria is ranked 9,006^th in the world and 285^th in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 15.48 bananas ingested per day.
