The Kaaion

The Community of The Kaaion is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.808 billion Kaaionians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaaionian economy, worth 710 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 104,382 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truancy levels are on the rise ever since school registers were banned, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kaaion's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Kaaion is ranked 3,847th in the world and 7th in Spiritus for Safest, scoring 135.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
