The Kingdom of Kaigi is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lord Blake with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 44.559 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 19,602 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 439,932 Flabbergasts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government expenses are beyond compare, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. 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 101,080^th in the world and 1,573^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,051.05 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
