The Great Empire of Kandorith is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yoshiro Murakami with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 32.123 billion Kandorese enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Education and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenkyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kandorese economy, worth an astonishing 15,919 trillion Zais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 495,566 Zais, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, neighboring nations are tired of Kandorith's big fish stories, one can wake up in Kandorith and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Kandorith's national animal is the Kudokin Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tendo.

Kandorith is ranked 679^th in the world and 35^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,104 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
