The Kingdom of Kaigi is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Blake with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 43.067 billion Kaigians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bowerstone. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaigian economy, worth an astonishing 18,635 trillion Flabbergasts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 432,704 Flabbergasts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Kaigian lands, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaigi's national animal is the Sharktopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Kaigi is ranked 108th in the world and 2nd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 281.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
