The Most Serene Republic of Kirion is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 401 million Krinoes 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 Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirion City. The average income tax rate is 32.9%.

The thriving Kirionian economy, worth 38.8 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,669 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kirion's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kirion is ranked 58,548^th in the world and 844^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,588.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
