The Corrino Empire of Kaitain is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Farad'n I with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.63 billion Kaitainians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corrinth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The all-consuming Kaitainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 trillion solaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 87,054 solaris, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 300,977 per year while the poor average 18,406, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

The nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, citizens must pay to enjoy Kaitain's pristine beaches, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kaitain's national animal is the golden lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orange Catholicism.

Kaitain is ranked 106,611^th in the world and 5^th in Dune for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 92.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
