The Pha Phathers of Red Kagran is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by GMTers Made of Vodka with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.22 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kagranium City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Arms Manufacturing.

Torture is illegal, refugees from other nations are flocking to Red Kagran's border, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and all-natural foods are becoming a major fad. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Kagran's national animal is the Sam dog of Pha, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Teh Phaith, and its currency is the Bloody Mogul.

Red Kagran is ranked 206th in Taijitu and 96,258th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -28 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
