The Federation of Associations of Kachia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Marie Faure-Tournadre with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.096 billion Kachians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plourive. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kachian economy, worth 109 trillion Nouveau Caches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 100,272 Nouveau Caches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blue bloods are welcome in Kachia, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kachia's national animal is the peahen, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kachia is ranked 283,731^st in the world and 260^th in Aesica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
