The Fun-Loving Federation of Let Them Eat Kites is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its quiet, industrious population of 4.893 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and the Environment are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.

Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is moderate. Let Them Eat Kites's national animal is the cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pine needles.

Let Them Eat Kites is ranked 6th in Liberty and 38,848th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
