The Empire of Kylan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Nacldir with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.849 billion Kylanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amelia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kylanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,376 trillion Thaurens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 283,880 Thaurens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,047,332 per year while the poor average 54,296, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kylan's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kylan is ranked 52,348^th in the world and 1^st in Comicaria for Highest Poor Incomes, with 54,296.74 Standard Monetary Units.
