Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federated Imperium of Kajal is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vierun Muraan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.752 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Social Equality 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 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Businessmen have been raging over recent 'gender equality' policies in the workplace, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Kajal, chess hooliganism is on the rise after the banning of organised sports, and the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation. 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 5th in The Vast and 1,034th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 11 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
