The Candle in the WA office of Kainin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rainin with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 2.913 billion Kaininians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaininian economy, worth 525 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 180,234 Candle Waxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomised jaywalkers can barely ambulate let alone repeat their offences, the nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 19,748^th in the world and 687^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,093.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
