The Christmas Empire of Kizhiratsk is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 562 million Kizhiratskians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dogansk. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kizhiratskian economy, worth 54.4 trillion Kizhiratsk credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,771 Kizhiratsk credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kizhiratskian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kizhiratsk's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kizhiratsk is ranked 56,353^rd in the world and 71^st in Fifth Empire for Most Extreme, scoring 30.22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
