The Federal Republic of Kakland is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Anna Gerheni with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.361 billion Kakish have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsstadt FCD. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kakish economy, worth 988 trillion Kakish Federal Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,990 Kakish Federal Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the fate of the world literally rests on Anna Gerheni's fingers, and faking deafness is the only way to guarantee a holiday in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kakland's national animal is the Kakish Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Grantism.

Kakland is ranked 91,241^st in the world and 28^th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,347.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
