The Federated Imperium of Kajal is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Vierun Muraan with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.931 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hir-Kajurmani. The average income tax rate is 94%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, Max Barry is this year's Miss Kajal, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kajal's national animal is the Myarra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Ljose, and its currency is the Galac.

Kajal is ranked 4th in The Vast and 541st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 19 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
