The Dominion of IKINGCAKE is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by iKINGCAKE with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 19.849 billion Cakians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cakian economy, worth a remarkable 2,243 trillion Cakes 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 large, well-organized black market in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 113,009 Cakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, taxi drivers seem less xenophobic these days, and IKINGCAKE's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IKINGCAKE's national animal is the Habberdasher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

IKINGCAKE is ranked 242,367th in the world and 1st in Yarnia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,043.52 Standard Monetary Units.
