The Great Empire of Kandorith is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Yoshiro Murakami with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 32.081 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 51.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kandorese economy, worth an astonishing 15,619 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 486,877 Zais, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,006,494 per year while the poor average 77,781, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

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 is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 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 279,392^nd in the world and 6,088^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -13.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
