The Candle in the WA office of Kainin is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rainin with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.002 billion Kaininians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of World Assembly Offices. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaininian economy, worth 537 trillion Candle Waxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 179,049 Candle Waxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, dining out often involves Christmas Bats on the plate no matter what you order, and the government has hired out-of-work fashion designers to design purses for men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kainin's national animal is the Christmas Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Kainin is ranked 5,841^st in the world and 294^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 525.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
