The Shattered Consciousness of RKD is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Katie with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.533 billion Lilin enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort May. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lilin economy, worth 529 trillion raffle tickets a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 95,787 raffle tickets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, Formula One cars in RKD boast 56 miles per gallon, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. RKD's national animal is the dragonfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Order of the Tempest Prognosticator.

RKD is ranked 88,809th in the world and 111th in Starlight for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,778.34 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
