The Republic of Kiraina is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Maximilian Vöss with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.251 billion Kirainans 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 large, 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 Fulicastria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kirainan economy, worth 346 trillion Mavems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,939 Mavems, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 650,436 per year while the poor average 23,571, a ratio of 27.6 to 1.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, the National Art Gallery's newest exhibit is the 500-year-old Luna Lisa, and the government funds large training centres to turn Golden Eagles into functioning members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiraina's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kiraina is ranked 119,646^th in the world and 578^th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 74.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
