The Haughty Pride of Kamidere is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 9.696 billion Kamidereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kamiderean economy, worth 868 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,562 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, leisure is a crime in ski towns, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kamidere's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kamidere is ranked 295,474^th in the world and 2^nd in Venaerat for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 30.85 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
