The Holy Federated Empire of Klyton is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Alexandre VI with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.393 billion Klytonians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Paris. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Klytonian economy, worth 653 trillion Federal Franc ₣s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,721 Federal Franc ₣s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the standard prescription for infertility-causing conditions is "go have a baby", a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, and school guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klyton's national animal is the European Roe Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Klyton is ranked 163,930^th in the world and 24^th in The United Mapgame Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 221.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
