The Republic of Kirostan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ivan Shevchenko Kozlov with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 11.336 billion Kirostanian are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zarograd-on-Gordava. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kirostanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,893 trillion Kirostanian grivnas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,251 Kirostanian grivnas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Many friends and relatives of Ivan Shevchenko Kozlov have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, organ donation is compulsory, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kirostan's national animal is the Ursus arctos collaris, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kironism.
Kirostan is ranked 292,691st in the world and 7,158th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -1024.51 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
