The Republic of Kandarin is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 19.56 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Commerce, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malev. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

Artists are pillars of society, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Malev. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kandarin's national animal is the Jewel Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Diamond Token.

Kandarin is ranked 1,090th in the Rejected Realms and 73,860th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -13 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
